Stop. Think. Protect.
Regardless of whether you love or hate Artificial Intelligence, one thing is clear: it has supercharged online scams and fraud.
It used to be relatively easy to spot a scam. Poor grammar, strange links, obvious red flags...perhaps like the creative below. 😆
Now, phishing and social engineering are far more polished and believable, and much harder to spot. In some cases, they look completely legitimate.
The ACCC has flagged that AI is making scams cheaper, faster, and far more convincing. Worth a read if you haven’t seen it:

Now more than ever, we need to apply a zero-trust mindset and verify everything.
If it involves money, sensitive information, or any kind of urgency, slow it down. Check it properly. Call and confirm.
