Attack of the Clone: Next-Gen Social Engineering

NeoEYED CTO Tamaghna Basu tells us how he created an AI bot to mimic him, how it could be used in social engineering attacks, and what the experience taught him about the value of true human connections.

The
Dark Reading News Desk
spoke to Tamaghna Basu about his Black Hat Virtual session How I Created My Clone Using AI: Next-Gen Social Engineering. Interview begins at 02:10. Excerpts below:
TAMAGHNA BASU, CTO, NeoEYED:
Typically, like any other project you do, you test it with friends and family. ... The first couple of them actually felt Im typing behind the scene. They didnt realize it was a bot responding. They were even asking Is this you, Basu, who is typing behind the scene, and youre just faking that its a bot? So that was kind of a sense of satisfaction for me. Makes sense that either the person is really dumb, or the AI is really smart. Theres only two kinds of decisions I can make.
