    How does AI change the economics of cybercrime?
    Apr 23 2026
    Robert (Bob) McArdle has spent two decades tracking cybercriminals - from ransomware groups to nation-state actors to financially motivated crime organizations. As a result, he has a front-row seat on how agentic AI is reshaping the threat landscape right now. In conversation with hosts Johnny Hand and Dustin Childs, Bob shares why agentic AI is a bigger game changer for cybercriminals than generative AI. What you’ll learn: How the criminal service economy is being rebuilt around AI, and why it was already perfectly structured for it The three rules of cybercrime adoption and how to use them to anticipate what's coming What defenders can actually do when the volume of attacks multiplies Why stick around: Security teams take note: AI isn't only making phishing emails better. The entire criminal ecosystem has a new AI-driven engine.
