Microsoft Threat Intelligence Warns of AI-Themed Phishing and Malvertising
Microsoft Threat Intelligence reports increasing campaigns that impersonate AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, DeepSeek, and Claude to drive phishing, search-driven malware, and malvertising. Microsoft observed examples including a ChatGPT-themed phishing kit that harvests credit card data. Attackers chain email to links, downloads, and identity or endpoint compromise, and Microsoft Defender anti-phishing can detect spoofing and suspicious sender signals early.
