Turning the Tables on Email Scammers With 'ScamBuster'

The article describes ScamBuster, an AI-driven inbound-only system that responds to phishing emails using believable victim personas to engage scammers, extract financial and contact indicators (IBANs, phone numbers, payment domains), cluster those indicators into threat profiles, and export structured intelligence (STIX 2.1, MISP) for researchers and law enforcement; it uses small LLMs, is LLM-agnostic, and learns which personas work best to maximize collected evidence.
