Cyber expert sounds alarm on Jamaica’s digital weak spots

As Jamaica becomes more connected than ever, cybersecurity engineer Russell Alexander says the battle against cybercrime is getting tougher, and artificial intelligence is helping fuel the threat.

Alexander, who spends his days testing computer systems for weaknesses, said hackers are benefiting from tools that make cybercrime easier and more accessible than before.

“AI can show you how to do so much,” he said. “What I would say has changed is that AI has really stepped up the game in terms of the number of criminals out there.”
