David Hoelzer , SANS Fellow and AI Expert at SANS Institute will be generating sophisticated and persuasive phishing emails . The Dubai Police recently warned against phishing scams in the form of emails urging recipients to pay fines and service fees .
In days gone by , if an email had typos , then it set phishing alarm bells ringing . Now it ’ s the opposite , and we advise all to look for typos as a positive sign that the email ’ s probably from a human !
You can tell the chatbots to be imperfect by asking it to sprinkle text with a couple of typos , so it depends on what stage cybercriminals are at in teaching it to perform phishing tasks . As well as this , spam is one of the first places cybercriminals will take this since it ’ s one of the fastest things the model can do .
Research has revealed that AI chatbots are currently easily influenced by text prompts embedded on web pages . So , cybercriminals can use indirect prompt injection – where they secretively embed instructions in a webpage . If a user unknowingly asks a chatbot to ingest a page , this can activate the placed prompt .
Researchers even found that Bing ’ s chatbot can detect other tabs open on a user ’ s device , so hackers simply need to embed the instructions on any webpage open in a tab . Cybercriminals can then easily manipulate the user through the AI tool and could attempt to obtain sensitive information such as your name , email address and credit card details .
