AI:The New Cybercrime Overlord (and Why Your Accountant Cares)




Forget about tax audits. The real threat to your business isn't the ATO, it's the rise of AI-powered cybercrime.


Think about it; AI can now write convincing phishing emails, predict your vulnerabilities better than a bored intern and even execute complex attacks autonomously. It's like having a million tiny hackers working 24/7, each armed with a keyboard and a thirst for your data (and money)!


What does this mean for you we hear you asking?

• Data breaches galore - Expect more sophisticated attacks on your sensitive information -customer data, financial records, the juicy secrets you thought were safe.

• Ransomware 2.0 - Forget about simple file encryption. AI-powered ransomware can now take down entire systems and demand astronomical sums in cryptocurrency, even manipulating your employees into paying up.

• The ascendance of the "deepfakes"- Imagine your CEO's voice demanding an urgent wire transfer, or a fake video of them admitting to some… questionable business practices. Sounds terrifying? It's coming.

Don't panic! (Yet). While the future may seem bleak, there are steps you can take to protect yourself.

• Cybersecurity insurance is a must - Think of it as life insurance for your data. It helps to cover the costs of a breach, including data recovery, legal fees and even reputational damage (talk to us about the best policies for you and your business).

• Employee training - Even the most intelligent people can fall victim to a well-planned phishing email. It is necessary, therefore, to carry out periodic training in identifying and reporting any suspicious activity.

• Use AI for good - AI can be your worst enemy, but it can also be your 2nd best friend next to us. Fight fire with fire, as they say. Utilise AI-driven security tools that help in finding and stopping threats even before they're formed.


Not paying attention to the AI cybercrime threat is like driving without insurance, taking a huge risk where you know it won't end well. Here at Naked Accounting, we do more than just crunch the numbers; we help businesses thrive. In today's world, that means staying one step ahead of the cyber-curve. We don't just talk about it; we actually can help.


Want to know more? Book a time with us. We'll drop the jargon and give it to you straight on how to protect your business from the AI apocalypse (or at least how to minimise the damage).

P.S. We may or may not have used AI to write parts of this blog. You'll never know! 😉

What we care about...

Diversity

It's important for us to be a home to a wide range of diverse humans. This brings fresh perspectives and allows for a feeling of inclusivity for all. 

Playfulness

We like to play. Play hard, work hard. While we take numbers and business very seriously, we never take ourselves too seriously. We keep it fun and we keep it real.

Knowledge

We use big-business experience and corporate strategies that we’ve accumulated during our time spent in commercial roles. We are constantly upskilling and learning as a team. And usually, there's free food involved. 

Innovation

Never a stuffy old accounting firm, we use the best of the best in tech and AI to bring the best to our clients. Bring your ideas to the table - all ideas are welcome!

We are stronger together!
