Digitalization has brought us significant advantages: convenience, speed in processing, and immediate access to information. But, at the same time, it has also <\/span> opened the door to new forms of cybercrime.<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the most worrying is<\/span> AI phishing,<\/b> an evolution of the classic scam that leverages increasingly sophisticated technological tools to deceive users and businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before delving into how this type of attack works and what impact it can have on our security, it’s worth discussing how we can protect ourselves. This is where Qondar comes in, a solution developed by Enthec that enables anyone to monitor and manage their exposure to online threats continuously. Qondar isn’t just a simple antivirus or a fraudulent email blocker: it’s a <\/span>Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) tool,<\/b> designed to detect risks in real time and help us make decisions before it’s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

AI phishing is a deceptive attempt in which cybercriminals impersonate legitimate entities (banks, public administrations, e-commerce platforms, or even coworkers) to obtain sensitive information such as passwords, banking details, or personal documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until recently,<\/span> phishing<\/span><\/a> was relatively easily detected by details such as <\/span>spelling mistakes, unconvincing messages, or suspicious email addresses.<\/b>. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence, the landscape has undergone significant changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, attackers use algorithms capable of generating<\/span> perfectly worded messages that are personalized and even adapted to the victim’s communication style. <\/b>. In addition, they rely on synthetic voice systems and the creation of false images (<\/span>deepfakes<\/span><\/a>) to give more credibility to their deceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The impact of AI phishing on personal data<\/b><\/h2>\n

The impact of AI phishing goes far beyond the simple loss of money in a fraudulent transfer. Cybercriminals are after something much more valuable: <\/span>our personal data.<\/b><\/p>\n
