A new 'super-realistic' AI scam could get your Gmail account hacked

The advent of generative AI has opened up all kinds of opportunities, but it has also ramped up various risks and dangers. We've previously seen hackers who can use AI-generated codes, phishing emails, or even deepfakes to make even more realistic fraud attempts -- ones that even security experts can easily fall for. In a recent Forbes report, Sam Mitrovic -- a security consultant for Microsoft -- talks about his experience with a new "super-realistic AI scam call" and warns that all Gmail account users could be targeted. The scam is similar to standard phishing methods, but it has a much higher chance of success thanks to its use of AI. First, Mitrovic received a message asking him to restore his Gmail account.
