AI fuelling more sophisticated phishing scams, cyberattacks: Cyber Security Agency
The Cyber Security Agency has warned that the growth of artificial intelligence could enable more sophisticated cyberattacks. In its annual report on the digital landscape in Singapore, the CSA said this is an emerging area of concern, even as overall cyberthreat numbers fell or remained constant. 4,100 phishing attempts were reported last year. CSA found that 13% of the phishing scams it analysed last year were likely generated by AI. These phishing emails typically have fewer grammatical errors, with better sentence structure, flow and reasoning. AI's ability to take on a more authoritative tone makes them more convincing and dangerous.
