Spotting Malicious Emails Created with Artificial Intelligence

Gone are the days when phishing emails could be identified with just a discerning eye. Those tell-tale grammar, punctuation, and usage errors were quickly corrected, thanks to generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). Next to arrive on the scene were AI tools designed to detect AI generated content! While that might be great for professors grading term papers, in the phishing world it allowed cybercriminals to perfect their craft even further – cleaning up their content to bypass additional filters and SEGs.
