AI-Powered Phishing Lures Victims with Fake Security Checks

Cybercriminals are increasingly using AI-powered development platforms to create and host fake captcha pages for sophisticated phishing campaigns. This two-stage attack first presents a victim with a seemingly legitimate captcha challenge, which lowers suspicion and bypasses many automated security scanners. Once the captcha is solved, the user is redirected to a malicious site designed to steal their credentials. Attackers exploit the ease of use, free hosting, and trusted branding of these AI platforms to launch these scams at scale. To combat this threat, organizations are advised to educate employees on the tactic and deploy security solutions capable of analyzing redirect chains.
