For years, one of the easiest ways to spot a phishing email was to notice something looked wrong.

• The grammar was bad.

• The wording was awkward.

• The logo looked strange.

• The request did not sound like something your boss, vendor, or customer would normally send.

That is getting harder.

AI is making it easier for attackers to create emails, text messages, fake invoices, and even voice messages that look and sound much more believable.

That does not mean every phishing attack is suddenly sophisticated.

It does mean the old advice of “look for bad spelling” is no longer enough.
