Menlo Threat Intelligence reported an alarming rise in browser-based phishing attacks, totaling over 752,000 in the past year, marking a 140% increase. The study highlights the dangerous intersection of generative AI innovation and phishing tactics, illustrating how malicious actors exploit browser vulnerabilities, craft realistic phishing content, and employ automated techniques for credential theft. Notably, the increase in zero-hour phishing incidents, alongside generative AI-driven fraud cases, is prompting urgent calls for enhanced security measures as attackers evolve their strategies, particularly in the mobile realm where traditional tools are failing.
Menlo Threat Intelligence has identified over 752,000 browser-based phishing attacks this year, with a 140% increase compared to last year.
Generative AI has contributed to a rise in sophisticated phishing techniques that make traditional security tools less effective, especially on mobile devices.
The rise of generative AI has enabled attackers to create highly realistic and personalized phishing content at scale, leading to more effective credential theft.
With a surge in browser-based and zero-hour phishing attacks, the phishing landscape is becoming a perfect storm for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities.
