The voice sounds right, the background looks familiar\u2026 but the thing is, it\u2019s all fake. AI has made it easier than ever to create scams that look and feel real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, which makes this the perfect time to examine how AI is transforming the way we live, work, and consume information. It\u2019s also the right time to revisit how to protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-ai-is-changing-the-way-we-live\">How AI is changing the way we live<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels like not that long ago AI was a futuristic idea, one that played out in books and movies. Today, AI is woven into daily life \u2013 from the streaming platforms that recommend your next show to the voice assistant that sets your alarm to the fraud alerts your bank sends you. There\u2019s no denying that, as AI works behind the scenes, it\u2019s making life easier, faster, and more personalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond providing everyday convenience, it\u2019s also making a meaningful impact across sectors. Businesses use it to analyze mountains of data, and doctors use it to spot diseases earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But like any tool that can be used for good, AI can also be used for harm. Cyber criminals have found a way to leverage the technology to steal money, data, and security from consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-new-face-of-cyber-threats\">The new face of cyber threats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyber criminals have learned to harness AI to make scams look more polished and personal \u2013 and to send them out on a massive scale. Examples of AI-powered scams include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mar-l mob-mar-l\">\n<p><strong>AI-enhanced phishing and smishing:<\/strong> Phishing emails, once rife with grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, are now flawless. These fake messages can sound exactly like someone you know, sometimes using your own personal details lifted from social media.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mar-l mob-mar-l\">\n<p><strong>Deepfakes and voice clones:<\/strong> Scammers can create fake videos or phone calls that mimic a person you trust, like a family member, your boss, or even a celebrity, to convince you to send money or share personal information.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mar-l mob-mar-l\">\n<p><strong>Fake pop-ups:<\/strong> Realistic-looking security alerts can trick you into downloading malware or giving hackers access to your device.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While these scams aren\u2019t new, the use of AI is making it harder than ever to tell what\u2019s legitimate and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spotting-red-flags\">Spotting red flags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While AI-powered and AI-enhanced scams are harder to detect, there are ways to stay ahead of scammers. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mar-l mob-mar-l\">\n<p><strong>Slow down:<\/strong> If a message feels urgent, take a breath before doing anything. Scammers often create scenarios that cause panic, counting on their targets to rush into action.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mar-l mob-mar-l\">\n<p><strong>Verify separately:<\/strong> If you\u2019re asked to make a large or unusual transaction, or to send sensitive information unexpectedly, contact the person or company directly using a known phone number or email \u2013 not the link or number in the message.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mob-mar-l mar-l\">\n<p><strong>Check the details:<\/strong> Look for odd phrasing, logos that seem off, or strange links. It\u2019s important to look closely, as scammers often use URLs that look almost correct but have small differences.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item mar-l mob-mar-l\">\n<p><strong>Keep your devices updated: <\/strong>Software updates often include security patches that fix vulnerabilities and protect you from known threats.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-building-new-habits\">Building new habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve always had strong online habits or been a little relaxed about passwords and what you share in emails, the new wave of AI-powered scams means it\u2019s time for everyone to raise their game. The good news: small, consistent habits can make a big difference in keeping you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-and-the-cyber-security-balancing-act\">AI and the cyber security balancing act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s some positive news: AI isn\u2019t just being used by scammers \u2013 it\u2019s also working in your favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banks and security companies use AI to monitor transactions in real time, flag suspicious activity, and block unauthorized logins before they happen. Email providers filter out most phishing attempts automatically, and many security tools use AI to spot unusual behaviour and stop threats in their tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By staying informed and taking advantage of available protections, you can make AI part of your defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-ai-working-for-you-not-against-you\">Get AI working for you, not against you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is transforming the way we work, live, and communicate \u2013 it\u2019s also reshaping the world of cyber security. This Cyber Security Awareness Month, try upgrading your online habits, double-check suspicious messages, and pause before you act. With a little awareness, you can stay safe and confident online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-callout-block section-inner callout-block campaign\"><div class=\"callout  horizontal\"><div class=\"callout-content\"><div class=\"callout-copy\">\n<p>Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/cyber-security\/_assets-custom\/pdf\/Deepfake_Scams_Checklist_External_EN.pdf\" data-dig-id=\"LP-95633-02c800e5\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Deepfake Scams Checklist\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Deepfake Scams Checklist<\/a> for more tips on keeping yourself and your data safe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
