Traditional phishing involves attackers sending fake, malicious links disguised as legitimate messages to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or installing malware. However, phishing attacks have become increasingly advanced, introducing what experts call "phishing 2.0" and psychological phishing.  Phishing 2.0 leverages AI to analyse publicly available data, such as social media profiles and public records, to craft highly personalized and convincing messages. These tailored attacks significantly increase the likelihood of success. Psychological manipulation also plays a role in phishing schemes. Attackers exploit emotions like fear and trust, often creating a sense of urgency to pressure victims into acting impulsively. By impersonating trusted entities, such as banks or employers, they pressure victims into following instructions without hesitation.  AI has further amplified the efficiency and scale of phishing attacks. Cybercriminals use AI tools to generate convincing scam messages rapidly, launch automated campaigns and target thousands of individuals within minutes. Tools like ChatGPT, when misused in “DAN mode”, can bypass ethical restrictions to craft grammatically correct and compelling messages, aiding attackers who lack English fluency.  ]]> 2025-02-17T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.cyberskills.ie/explore/news/the-growing-threat-of-phishing-attacks-and-how-to-protect-yourself--.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8648755 False Malware,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat ChatGPT 3.0000000000000000
