This report surveys evolving phishing and scam tactics driven by AI, highlighting realistic text/audio/video deepfakes, OSINT-enabled targeting, Telegram-based bots and account theft, and evasion via trusted services (Telegraph, Google Translate) and blob URLs. It notes a shift from password theft to harvesting immutable identity data (biometrics, signatures, voiceprints) and sophisticated multi-stage social engineering to defeat 2FA, and provides practical user-focused mitigations.
