AI can be very helpful. But like most technology, it can also be used by criminals.

If you’ve taken our cybersecurity course, you’ll know that criminals send emails pretending to be from someone we trust, like our bank.

They might tell us to log into our accounts via a fake link. However, when we click the link and enter our username and password, this information is sent straight to the criminals.

This trick is called phishing. It’s extremely common.
