At the recent Hacked 2.0 session hosted by the National Forensic Sciences University on October 15, 2025, cybersecurity experts Professor Parag Rughani and Associate Professor Nilay Mistry warned that artificial intelligence is transforming cybercrime into increasingly personal and psychologically manipulative threats. The experts demonstrated how AI tools enable cybercriminals to craft convincing phishing emails by studying victims’ social media profiles, writing styles, and communication patterns for precision targeting. Notable cases presented included a North Gujarat construction company exploited through outdated Windows XP systems for fraudulent international call bills, and a disturbing incident from January 2025 where a retired CEO was blackmailed using AI-generated obscene content created from a WhatsApp video call. The session emphasized that modern AI-driven attacks utilize deepfake technology, fake social media conversations, and sophisticated impersonation techniques, making timely reporting and cultivating cyber vigilance critical for combating these evolving digital threats that pose significant risks to individuals and organizations
