Description
As the summer heat drives UAE residents to seek holiday escapes and staycations, cybercriminals are turning up the heat on digital fraud. From fake chalet rentals and unbelievable travel deals to sophisticated AI-driven impersonations, authorities are issuing urgent warnings to the public to stay vigilant.
According to the UAE Cyber Security Council, more than 75 per cent of cyber breaches in the country originate from phishing emails and fraudulent messages, with attackers deploying an estimated 3.4 billion phishing messages globally every day.
The council has further warned that AI-driven phishing now accounts for more than 90 per cent of digital breaches, as scammers craft messages that appear almost perfectly authentic, eliminating traditional warning signs.
