AI-powered chatbots frequently deliver incorrect website addresses for major companies, providing the correct URL only 66 percent of the time. Additionally, 29 percent of suggestions lead users to dead or suspended sites, while five percent point to legitimate but incorrect websites. This inaccuracy poses a security risk, allowing criminals to exploit misinformed users. Phishing schemes have adapted to target AI users, leveraging their lack of awareness regarding chatbot errors, consequently increasing the prevalence of successful fake websites designed to trick unsuspecting individuals.
The AI produced the correct web address just 66 percent of the time, while 29 percent of URLs pointed to dead or suspended sites, and five percent to legitimate but incorrect sites.
Phishers could ask for a URL, and if the top result is a site that’s unregistered, they could buy it and set up a phishing site.
