"AI has gotten very good at writing. According to a recent Sagiss survey of 500 U.S. desk-based workers, 72% say phishing attempts are more convincing today than they were just a year ago - specifically because of AI-generated language."
"Employees generally know how to spot phishing, but they still fall for it because they're busy, multitasking and making fast decisions under pressure. It's not because they lack training."
"More than half say AI-written phishing is harder to spot simply because it feels more professional. The thing that used to make phishing detectable - the awkward phrasing, the stiff tone - is disappearing."
Phishing attempts have evolved, becoming more convincing due to AI-generated language. Employees are aware of phishing tactics but still fall victim due to multitasking and pressure. A Sagiss survey reveals that 72% of workers find phishing attempts more convincing than a year ago, with 66% believing AI-crafted messages could impersonate colleagues. The traditional signs of phishing, such as poor grammar, are less prevalent, making detection more challenging. Leaders must recognize cybersecurity as an operational issue and adjust communication norms accordingly.
