Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – AI Use in Phishing Emails

|

With the advent of generative natural language models like ChatGPT, also known as artificial intelligence or AI, scammers can create increasingly convincing phishing emails. AI-generated messages can be produced more quickly and with far fewer grammar and spelling mistakes. To make matters worse, phishers can use personal information to send spear-phishing emails – phishing attempts targeted at a particular individual – that are much harder to distinguish from non-phishing emails. The silver lining is that AI only improves the effectiveness of the main body of the email; scammers will still have to resort to the usual tactics of sending from suspicious email addresses, scaring recipients with an urgent tone, and including malicious links. As always, double-check the addresses of urgent messages and avoid clicking links unless you are certain the sender is safe. Forward any suspicious communications to abuse@uthsc.edu for examination.
