As AI technology advances, cybercriminals are using it to create more convincing scams, especially phishing emails and messages that look legitimate and may include personal details gathered online.
Key signs of AI-generated content:
Images: Unnatural hands, extra or missing body parts, odd lighting, distorted text, or overly perfect features.
Videos: Stiff movements, unnatural facial expressions, limited blinking, robotic voices, or lip-sync issues.
Text: Generic or repetitive writing, overly formal tone, lack of personal insight, and potentially inaccurate or outdated information.
How to protect yourself:
□ Verify information through trusted sources.
□ Be cautious of content that seems unusual, exaggerated, or too good to be true.
□ Trust your instincts when something feels suspicious.
□ Don't rely solely on AI-detection tools, as they are not always accurate.
AI can be a powerful tool, but it is also being used by cybercriminals to make scams harder to detect. Staying alert, verifying information, and thinking critically before acting can help keep you safe online.
Remember: Cybersecurity is all of our responsibility!
