Phishing in the Era of AI: Evolution, Creation, Detection and Countermeasures

Abstract

As the digital world evolves, so does the complexity of cyber threats, with phishing attempts being a constant and developing concern. This thesis investigates the complex dynamics of phishing attacks in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), examining the trends, strategies, and countermeasures connected with this malicious behaviour. By exploring the interplay between AI-driven offensive tactics and defensive techniques, this research paper hopes to contribute to the continuing efforts to secure individuals and organisations against the risks of phishing attacks.
