The findings point to a dangerous shift: while overall phishing complaints have dropped by 40% since 2021, average financial losses keep climbing. AI may be making scams more convincing – and more profitable.
With voice generation tools like ElevenLabs surpassing a $5 billion valuation and deepfake tech becoming mainstream, Cybernews warns that AI may be silently fueling the next wave of cybercrime.
