Generative AI and automation have caused more cyberattacks on mobile operators' infrastructures, research by Nokia revealed.
According to the telecom giant’s 2024 Threat Intelligence Report, cybercriminals are using AI and automation to increase the speed, volume and sophistication of attacks.
As a result, the research found that the number and frequency of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have increased from a maximum of two per day to over 100 per day in many networks.
The growth in DDoS attacks is driven by insecure IoT devices, such as smart refrigerators and smartwatches, with weak security protections, the data stated.
