North Korean Groups Use AI to Expand Intrusions

Microsoft Threat Intelligence said Friday that North Korean groups Coral Sleet, Sapphire Sleet and Jasper Sleet are using generative AI to accelerate and scale schemes that place remote technical workers at global companies. Researchers said AI tools help build tailored job-market personas, create multilingual lures and automate post-compromise tasks — including Faceswap identity photos and real-time voice modulation — increasing persistence and reducing detection time.
