When AI Fakes a Brand: Domain Spoofing Is a Crisis of Trust
Briefly

The rise of AI has revolutionized domain spoofing, rendering it a major threat to brands as counterfeit sites become easier to create and harder to detect. Cybercriminals exploit generative AI to produce thousands of deceptive domains, leading to scams and erosion of consumer trust. Brands, despite their investments in identity protection, often neglect proactive measures against domain fraud, primarily due to poor collaboration between cybersecurity and marketing departments. As a result, it is crucial for CMOs and legal teams to address this issue head-on in the evolving digital landscape.
