Cybercriminals are now using artificial intelligence to create highly convincing fake versions of real websites. With the help of advanced AI tools, these scammers can mimic the look and feel of legitimate sites, making it challenging for unsuspecting users to spot the difference.
AI Makes Phishing More Dangerous
AI technology enables fraudsters to clone website designs, logos, and even interactive features. As a result, these fake sites not only look authentic but also function smoothly, luring users into sharing sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details.
Stay Safe Online
To protect yourself, always double-check website URLs and look for security indicators like HTTPS and padlock icons. Be wary of unsolicited messages that direct you to websites. If something feels off, it’s better to close the page and access the site directly through your browser instead of clicking on links in emails or texts. As AI continues to evolve, staying vigilant is key to avoiding these new scams.
