AZFamily (CBS Phoenix): Scammers Taking Advantage of AI
In a live interview with AZFamily (CBS Phoenix), Chris Drake, Senior VP at iconectiv, explained how scammers are using AI to bypass two-factor authentication, hijack phone numbers and create deep fakes. He discussed the growing risks of AI-driven fraud and provides actionable tips to protect personal data.
Drake recommends logging out of accounts after inactivity, freezing credit to safeguard against identity theft and setting up a family "safe word" to prevent falling victim to urgent fraudulent requests. These steps can help individuals stay one step ahead of increasingly sophisticated scams.
