Are these AI bots phishing/scamming people out of personal info? or finding backdoors? or has brute force cracking actually gotten faster? This sounds interesting.

Passkeys are worthless.

You do not understand what AI is.

"AI cyber attacks" is just sci-fi fantasy bullcrap.

What is it?
An LLM that was trained on leaked data bases?

Maybe he/she means a "brute force" attack.

Brute force is a type of attack that has a database of passwords (this database also can fetch passwords from various sources such as the web and worldwide users), and with writing a script, it will try its own database of passwords continuously until one of them successfully enters a session.

A.I. might do the same thing; it fetches passwords from various sources on the web and tries continuously until it enters successfully.

P.S. Personally, I don't use a password manager; you are storing all of your passwords in there, and imagine forgetting or having them stolen on that website. The best place to store passwords is in your mind or in writing in a non-digital environment, like on paper.

The huge advertising of AI has misled many non-IT people these days; common people think AI is a new technology, but they don't know AI has existed since the first computers were created back in the 1950s.

probably not brute force, but selected words/phrases the user commonly uses to guess possible password combos

if you mix words together commonly and use small basic numbers it could be fairly easy to for to guess the pass
if its decent strength and you use 2fa there is no way to get into the acct like that
