I feel bad for all the people that will be scammed by increasingly sophisticated AI tools.

The truth is most people could fall for a scam, I feel especially sorry for elderly people that don't get how the internet works. Very sad, scammers are a huge drain on society and it's hard to adress this problem comprehensively

‘Phishing’ refers to scammers trying to lure you in to obtain your data, often in the form of emails or texts impersonating a genuine company or government department.

The messages often prompt you to click a link to visit a website under the guise of something being wrong, such as a subscription expiring or to secure your account after a fraud attempt.

Phishing can also take place on social media, where fraudsters publish posts that link through to dodgy websites. If you click a link in a phishing message, you’ll often be taken through to a spoofed website where you’ll be asked to enter your name, address and bank details.
