一项新调查的数据于周三公布，显示超过80%的勒索软件受害者表示，攻击者在其攻击计划中将AI武器化。
Over 80 percent of ransomware victims in a new survey reported that their attackers had weaponized AI as part of the scheme, according to data made public Wednesday.
网络安全公司Semperis与研究咨询公司Censuswide为其《2026年勒索软件风险报告》对九个国家、八个行业领域的1200名IT和安全专业人员进行了调查。受访者中有84%表示，他们认为网络犯罪分子在勒索软件攻击中“以某种方式”使用了AI。
For its 2026 Ransomware Risk Report, cybersecurity company Semperis and research consultant Censuswide surveyed 1,200 IT and security professionals across nine countries and eight industry sectors. Eighty-four percent of those polled said they believed cybercriminals had used AI "in some way" during ransomware plots.
前美国国家网络总监、Semperis战略顾问Chris Inglis在报告中表示：“AI不仅增加了网络攻击的速度、范围和规模，还提高了其复杂程度。许多攻击不被认为是由AI协助和教唆的，因为它们实在太老练、太复杂了。”
“AI is increasing not only the speed, scope, and scale of cyberattacks, but also their sophistication,” Chris Inglis, former U.S. national cyber director and a Semperis strategic advisor, said in the report. “Many attacks are not perceived as being aided and abetted by AI because they're just too slick, too sophisticated."
根据报告，44%的受访者经历了利用其自身AI代理和系统的攻击，而40%经历了基于AI的攻击。另一方面，约49%的受害者使用AI工具来检测和防御攻击，但23%表示其防御性AI工具未能阻止恶意软件。
According to the report, 44 percent of respondents experienced attacks that exploited their own AI agents and systems, while 40 percent experienced AI-based attacks. On the other hand, about 49 percent of the surveyed victims used AI tools to detect and defend the attack, though 23 percent said their defensive AI tools failed to stop the malware.
报告还概述了勒索软件攻击的个人代价，据报道40%的攻击涉及身体和心理威胁。约四分之一的受攻击公司表示，其员工及其家庭成员被人肉搜索或身份在未经同意的情况下被泄露。另有23%因攻击遭遇“虚假报警”骚扰，25%需要医疗或心理治疗。结果，近14%被迫更换工作、办公地点或搬家。
The report also outlined the personal cost of ransomware attacks, 40 percent of which reportedly involved physical and psychological threats. About a quarter of the targeted companies reported their employees, as well as their family members, were doxxed or had their identities were revealed without their consent. Another 23 percent were swatted as a result of the attack and 25 percent required medical or psychological treatment. As a result, nearly 14 percent were forced to change jobs or office locations or move.
Inglis在周三的新闻稿中表示：“攻击者心中只有一个目标：他们想从你这里榨取东西。而他们唯一能做到这一点的办法，就是让你抵抗要求的代价大于妥协的代价。”
“An attacker has one goal in mind: They want to extract something from you. And the only way they're going to do that is to make the cost of resisting their demands greater than the cost of giving in,” Inglis said in a press release Wednesday.
他说道：“让你面临身体风险是最新的现象，因为我们已经覆盖了大多数其他风险。”
“Holding you at physical risk is the latest phenomenon because we've covered most of the other risks,” he added.
