Phishing-as-a-Service Is Now AI Enabled

AI is making some people's lives easier, just not what we needed to be easier. Darcula adds AI to its DIY phishing kits to help would-be vampires bleed victims dry: Because coding phishing sites from scratch is a real pain in the neck. And no, that is not a typo.

Darcula, a cybercrime outfit that offers a phishing-as-a-service kit to other criminals, this week added AI capabilities to its kit that help would-be vampires spin up phishing sites in multiple languages more efficiently.

You can use Dracula to set up fake sites for legitimate businesses by just pointing the AI-enabled software at a legitimate site. It will even translate the resulting fake site into multiple languages for you, so you can attack people anywhere in the world.

"This addition lowers the technical barrier for creating phishing pages, enabling less tech-savvy criminals to deploy customized scams in minutes," Netcraft analyst Harry Everett said in a Thursday report.

AI generated emails, clogging up the internet, filtered out by AI spam bots. Fake, AI generated sites, and related phishing campaigns. And that doesn't even touch on the problems with search.

The internet was nice while it lasted.
