Something feels different about security incidents lately.

Breaches, leaks, account takeovers, phishing campaigns they're not new. But their frequency, sophistication, and scale seem to be growing at a pace that feels genuinely alarming.

Instagram accounts hacked overnight. Corporate systems compromised in hours. Phishing emails that sound disturbingly human.

As someone studying AI & Big Data, I can't help but ask: is AI responsible for this? And if so, how?

I think the honest answer is: yes but in two very different ways.
