Until now, the impact of AI on identity attacks has been limited to the use of LLMs for the creation of phishing emails, in AI-assisted malware development, and for social media bots — no doubt significant, but not exactly transformative, and requiring constant human oversight and input.

But with the launch of OpenAI Operator, a new kind of "Computer-Using Agent", this could be about to change.

Operator is trained on a specialist dataset and implemented in its own sandboxed browser, meaning it is able to perform common web tasks like a human — seeing and interacting with pages as a human would.

Unlike other automated solutions, Operator requires no custom implementation or coding to be able to interact with new sites, making it a much more scalable option for attackers looking to target a broad sweep of sites/apps.
