Phishing For Your Information

Scammers have been using ChatGPT to craft typo-free phishing lures that mimic banks or retailers, spiking attacks.

Last year, the FBI estimated that phishing campaigns made around $16 billion! Check sender domains and hover over links to spot fakes, as AI’s perfect grammar can sometimes bypass spam filters.

Free tools like Microsoft’s Defender can scan for threats, but it’s most important to educate yourself and not fall for scams.

Never open a link within an email you’re not expecting or from someone you don’t know.

One of my mentors, Nick Oles, the Team Lead for Cyber and Technical Operations at the Department of Defense, has the book How to Catch a Phish. It’s a great read!
