5 Emerging AI Threats Australian Cyber Pros Must Watch in 2025
AI cloning and deepfakes rank among the top challenges for Australian cybersecurity professionals in 2025.
Australian cybersecurity professionals can expect threat actors to exploit artificial intelligence to diversify tactics and scale the volume of cyberattacks targeting organisations in 2025, according to security tech firm Infoblox.Last year, cyber teams in APAC witnessed the first signs of AI being used to execute crimes like financial fraud, while some have linked AI to a DDoS attack in the financial services sector in Australia. This year, Australia’s cyber defenders can expect AI to be used for a new breed of cyber attacks:
  • AI cloning: AI could be used to create synthetic audio voices to commit financial fraud.
  • AI deepfakes: Convincing fake videos could lure victims to click or provide their details.
  • AI-powered chatbots: AI chatbots could become part of complex phishing campaigns.
  • AI-enhanced malware: Criminals could use LLMs to spit out remixed malware code.
  • Jailbreaking AI: Threat actors will use “dark” AI models without safeguards.
