Applied AIDisrupting a Criminal Scam Operation
AI-native fraud is now organized enough that labs are running counter-intel ops against specific scam shops. If your product touches payments, dating, or gambling, assume you’re already in an arms race with LLM-augmented fraud rings and budget for continuous abuse tooling, not one-off rules.
