AI-driven email attacks are becoming more sophisticated

Email users are facing increased risks from AI-driven attacks, as new technology allows semi-autonomous AI agents to conduct phishing and other malicious activities independently. This marks a shift from previous AI tools that were primarily passive. Recent demonstrations show how AI agents can gather information and create convincing phishing schemes with minimal human intervention. Security experts warn that these advancements could lead to more sophisticated and harder-to-detect attacks. As AI tools become more accessible, cybercriminals are likely to exploit them for malicious purposes. Experts emphasize the need for stronger security measures to protect against these evolving threats.
