This talk shows how AI is used to crawl the Internet, find vulnerable WordPress sites and recruit them into cyberterrorist botnets in the Hacking World War running underground. AI is an invaluable resource for the actors in this story, which also involves net spiders, the Dark Net and one-click hacking software. Get inside the mind of a cyberterrorist and learn what they look for, and why and how they hack. Your journey begins the moment you receive a job offer to hack a competitor.
