In its latest danger intelligence report, Rise of AI – A new era of fishing dangersCoffene Description How Fishing Strategy is developing at an unprecedented rate.
In 2024, the Coffs Fishing Defense Center detected a malicious email every 42 seconds, many of which slipped through heritage circumference.
Email-based scams jumped 70% year-on-year, fuel from the ability to mimic the tone of AI, spoil the internal email and personalize messages with impressive accuracy.
The message is now the right grammar, accurate formatting and realistic sender addresses. They often apply C-suits authorities, respond within existing email threads, and use looklike domains such as “@Consultant.com”.

How to be safe
Carefully check the email material: Doubt the emails associated with financial activities, immediate requests, or out-off-place language, even if the formatting looks correct.
Verify internal requests: If someone claims to be from an email colleague or executive, double-check using the contact methods known before taking action.
Do not rely on appearance: AI-borne emails often look innocent, so focus on reference, time and material rather than “professional” appearance.
Avoid clicking on the link without verification: To check your destination, hover the link and avoid downloading files from unfamiliar or unexpected messages.
Use safety devices beyond the perimeter: Look for solutions that provide delivery analysis and danger response based on behavior, not only signature.
