UAE Says It Foiled a Wave of Cyberattacks on Vital Sectors

The United Arab Emirates said it thwarted a series of AI-backed cyberattacks and warned of a “qualitative shift” in the methods used by terrorist groups it didn’t identify.

The assaults on the UAE’s digital infrastructure and “vital sectors” included attempts to infiltrate networks, deploy ransomware and conduct systematic phishing campaigns, the state-run WAM news agency reported late Saturday, citing the UAE Cybersecurity Council.
