Threat actors are constantly changing and improving their attack performance with a particular emphasis on the application of AI-driven techniques in the attack process. This study investigates the offensive capabilities through automation of traditionally manual processes, allowing attackers to conduct attacks of a wider scope, at a faster speed, and on a larger scale. In this article, we explored research examples of cyber attacks, posed by combining the “dark” side of AI with the attack techniques. We introduced an analytic framework for modeling those attacks that can be useful in understanding their context and identified key opportunity areas for the security community in implementing suitable defenses. Finally, we illustrated a scenario to show that an sCPS (e.g., SG) can be the target of more advanced malicious cyber activity..
