Phishing has had an AI upgrade. Unfortunately. đŁđ¤
The days of spotting a scam because of bad spelling and a dodgy-looking email are disappearing.
Todayâs phishing attempts can look and sound surprisingly convincing. They may appear to come from a supplier, colleague, bank or even someone in leadership.
That means your team needs to look beyond the obvious red flags.
đ Watch for unexpected payment requests
đ Be cautious with requests for sensitive information
đą Donât forget about SMS and messaging scams
đď¸ Be aware that voices can be impersonated too
đŻ Question requests that feel unusually specific or urgent
When something doesnât feel right, stop and verify using a trusted method.
Great security technology helps build the shield. A security-aware team makes it even stronger. đĄď¸đڏ
Whatâs the most convincing phishing attempt youâve seen? đ
