They're not and they won't. I'm from genx and have a background in infosec. I don't agree that AI is the cause of this sudden surge in activity or if this is even a sudden surge. This stuff was always occurring if you were paying attention. It just making the mainstream news now.

Geopolitics is the cause of the recent uptick in activity. Many of these groups are state sponsored or just fronts for nation-states themselves. genAI just makes it easier for people further down the chain to go after low hanging fruit.

The most significant impact genAI is having on infosec is creating work for those people in infosec through vibe coding and turning untested AI systems loose on internal networks. genAI just lets developers and admins shoot themselves in the foot faster. genAI is an artificial intern.
