Breaking news creates perfect crime scenes. Natural disasters. Political scandals. Economic shocks. When headlines explode, AI-powered scammers weaponize the chaos at machine speed, spinning up phishing sites, fake donation pages, and impersonation campaigns before defenders can react.

This talk reveals how threat actors exploit news cycles with AI and how predictive intelligence beats them to the punch. By mapping behavioral patterns across internet infrastructure, we identify scam infrastructure during preparation, not activation, anticipating attacks by days or weeks.

Internet-scale behavioral predictive AI then disrupts this malicious infrastructure before activation, enabling preemptive blocking and takedowns. Attacks get neutralized before victims exist, dramatically increasing criminal costs and slashing their ROI.
