AI Summary
Cybercriminals are reshaping social‑engineering campaigns to exploit employees’ use of AI tools. Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence advisory notes attackers are impersonating platforms such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, and Anthropic’s Claude to deliver malware, steal credentials, and commit financial fraud. Google’s Fraud & Scams Advisory highlights a shift from traditional phishing to Adversary‑in‑the‑Middle and QR‑code phishing, and documents increased abuse of trusted cloud services, AI‑driven investment scams, and impersonation campaigns. Both advisories emphasize that threat actors are adapting established techniques to match the growing role of AI in everyday enterprise workflows, rather than relying solely on technical exploits.
