DESCRIPTION:Breaking news creates perfect crime scenes. Natural disasters. 
 Political scandals. Economic shocks. When headlines explode\, AI-powered s
 cammers weaponize the chaos at machine speed\, spinning up phishing sites\
 , fake donation pages\, and impersonation campaigns before defenders can r
 eact.\n\nThis talk reveals how threat actors exploit news cycles with AI a
 nd how predictive intelligence beats them to the punch. By mapping behavio
 ral patterns across internet infrastructure\, we identify scam infrastruct
 ure during preparation\, not activation\, anticipating attacks by days or 
 weeks.\n\nInternet-scale behavioral predictive AI then disrupts this malic
 ious infrastructure before activation\, enabling preemptive blocking and t
 akedowns. Attacks get neutralized before victims exist\, dramatically incr
 easing criminal costs and slashing their ROI.
