Threat Score
Generative AI and inexpensive bulk SMS spoofing are enabling a sharp rise in digital financial fraud in South Africa, with roughly R2 billion stolen (about R11,000 per person) and one in three South Africans affected; attacks use AI-generated messages and voice impersonation to build trust, target vulnerable groups such as the elderly, and have prompted government and financial institutions to adopt multi-level, identity-centric defenses.
