Listen Later

AI-powered scams are evolving far beyond traditional phishing emails. Today’s attackers are using generative AI to create more believable messages, fake invoices, realistic impersonations, and highly targeted business email compromise attacks designed to pressure employees into making fast decisions.


In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw speaks with Vyntra CEO Joël Winteregg about how scammers are exploiting urgency, corporate workflows, payment systems, and even video conferencing tools to make fraud more convincing than ever.


The conversation explores:

* How AI is changing business email compromise scams

* Why urgency and stress remain the biggest attack tools

* The rise of fake invoices and payment fraud

* How scammers exploit weaknesses in company workflows

* Why traditional phishing awareness training may no longer be enough

* The growing role of banks and payment providers in fraud prevention

* Why businesses of all sizes are vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated scams


As AI tools become easier to access, the barriers to launching convincing scams are rapidly disappearing. This episode looks at what companies need to understand now to avoid becoming the next target.
