What is AI Phishing?
Phishing attacks have always been dangerous, but with AI they have become more realistic, scalable, and personalized.Attackers now use AI-powered tools to:
Generate human-like phishing emails with no grammar mistakes. Clone voices of CEOs/Managers to trick employees. Create fake documents, images, and even deepfake videos.
Example Scenarios
Email Example 
A finance employee receives an email:> “Hi John, urgent request! Please transfer $25,000 to this vendor today. I’m in a meeting, can’t talk. – CEO”
Looks real because AI crafted the tone + email style of the CEO.
Voice Call Example 🎙
An employee gets a call from a voice sounding exactly like their boss:> “Approve the wire transfer now, I’ll explain later.”
AI voice cloning makes this scam highly convincing.
Deepfake Video 
Hackers send a fake Zoom meeting invite with a deepfake video of a manager, asking staff to share login credentials.🛡 Defence Against AI Phishing
1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 
Even if attackers steal your password, MFA blocks access. Use hardware keys where possible.2. Verify Out-of-Band 
Always confirm payment/credentials requests on a known number or official channel before acting.3. Email Filtering with AI 🛠
Use advanced phishing filters that detect unusual patterns, links, and attachments.4. Employee Awareness Training 
Run phishing simulations and train staff to spot red flags (urgent tone, odd domains, suspicious links).5. Zero-Trust Payment Policy 
High-value transfers must be approved by 2+ people. No single-person approvals for sensitive operations.
Quick Red Flags to Spot AI Phishing
⚠ Slightly misspelled domains (e.g., micr0soft.com)⚠ Emails with extreme urgency or fear
⚠ Shortened/odd links & attachments asking to “Enable Content”
⚠ Voice/video requests for money or credentials
