S10E5: Normalizing NO-Best Practices for Defending Against Emotionally Engineered Phishing Attacks

Moser Consulting Season 10 Episode 5

This episode focuses on the evolution of phishing and how it has transformed itself into deepfakes and sophisticated, emotionally engineered attacks.  Moser's Hersey Richardson is joining us again to discuss how it's changing, why it's harder to detect, and what you can do to stay ahead. 

We've come a long way from the days of clumsy emails promising lottery winnings. Today's phishing is a sophisticated cyber threat powered by AI, deepfakes, and psychological manipulation. Attackers now use realistic voice clones, AI-generated emails, and even video deepfakes to impersonate trusted individuals or leaders. What once relied on poor grammar and broken links now leverages emotional triggers, urgency, and hyper-personalization to exploit human behavior.
