The facts
Indonesia's National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) reports that AI is increasingly used to automate, personalize, and enhance cyberattacks on the financial sector, leading to financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. These AI-enabled attacks are harder to detect and undermine public trust, prompting calls for stronger cybersecurity measures.
