What Happens When Hackers Chase the Wrong Target?

TLDR; Researchers developed a smart cybersecurity strategy that uses AI (specifically reinforcement learning) to deploy fake digital traps called honeypots—some high-quality, some simple—to trick hackers during the reconnaissance stage of a cyberattack. Their algorithm learns how to place these decoys efficiently, protecting real assets while keeping costs low. In simulations, it blocked 97% of attacks […]
