Abu Dhabi, UAE – The UAE Government Cybersecurity Council confirmed that artificial intelligence technologies and its various applications have radically reshaped fraud practices and methods.
Complex tasks are now completed within seconds.
Which increases the risks of electronic fraud, especially fraud based on artificial intelligence.
This requires raising awareness about the methods of this type of fraud.
The Council explained that these technologies increase the complexity associated with detecting electronic fraud.
Artificial intelligence technologies make fraudulent operations appear real by falsifying sounds and changing slogans to appear official.
In addition to turning words and designs to look perfect, and crafting the scam into images of urgent security requests.
In addition to making the links used in fraud operations appear authentic, amid a noticeable acceleration in the pace of fraud supported by modern technologies.
The Cybersecurity Council confirmed that AI-powered phishing contributes to more than 90% of digital breaches.
Scammers are creating messages that appear to be 100% reliable, especially since they use these advanced technologies to remove the usual warning signs to design fraudulent operations that are almost free of detectable vulnerabilities.
Be careful when using links
The Council warned users and individuals to always be careful before clicking on any electronic links.
In addition to verifying any advertising or the source of any messages that include links, personal or financial information, or disclosure of certain information.
He pointed to the growing confusion between facts and tradition as the use of artificial intelligence expands.
This presents all users with complex challenges in combating fraud, and forces everyone to adopt defensive tools and techniques based on knowledge and awareness.
The Cybersecurity Council stressed that the ways to confront this type of phishing and electronic fraud start with the individual.
This is done by promoting cyber culture and awareness of the risks associated with artificial intelligence technologies when used by fraudsters in fraud operations.
In addition, it is important for the individual to realize that some products on social media appear, with this type of fraud, to be overly perfect, thanks to the images created by artificial intelligence as if they were real.
