Sep 25, 2025 By KnowBe4 Team In KnowBe4
Researchers at Varonis warn of a new phishing automation platform called “SpamGPT” that “combines the power of generative AI with a full suite of email campaign tools.” While previous phishing kits have automated parts of the attack chain, SpamGPT’s sophistication sets it apart from the rest “SpamGPT’s interface and features imitate a professional email marketing service, but for illegal purposes,” Varonis writes.

AI vs. Human: What SpamGPT Means for the Future of Security

Sep 25, 2025 By Abhinav Vasisth In Appknox
Phishing is not new. But SpamGPT has changed the game by showing how AI can industrialize deception at scale. SpamGPT has quickly become the poster child for how attackers are using AI to industrialize old tricks. At its core, SpamGPT isn’t introducing a new kind of attack; it’s simply making phishing faster, cheaper, and more convincing. Phishing has always been about deception. But with AI generating endless, polished, and context-aware lures, the balance of power shifts.

Persuasion engineering: how to influence humans, LLMs, and AI agents

Sep 23, 2025 By Kaitlin Harvey In CyberArk
We’ve spent decades treating persuasion like an art—something you could master if you had charisma, practice, or luck. Lawyers use it to hone arguments. Marketers use it to craft taglines. On the flip side, phishers use persuasive tactics to sharpen lures to razor points. But looking at it as an art form, while intuitive for some, can be messy. Hit-or-miss.
