What is a Data Breach? New AI 'Personality Cloning' Attack Makes Every Online Account a Crisis Waiting to Happen
London – A chilling new wave of cyber attacks has cybersecurity experts officially redefining what is a data breach, after a sophisticated AI tool successfully cloned the behavioral patterns and emotional responses of a Fortune 500 CEO from a single stolen email archive. Dubbed "Ghost Hosting," the breach goes beyond leaked passwords; the AI now operates the executive's voice, writing style, and decision-making logic in real-time, tricking employees into wiring $2.5 million to a "rescue fund." As the technology becomes commercially available within two years, experts warn that by 2030, the very concept of a 'data breach' will shift from stolen data to stolen identity—permanently.
