Everyone's downloading AI tools at the moment, and scammers have caught on.
Say someone on your team wants to try a new AI app. They search for it, click the top result, and end up on a page that looks like the real company's site. They download the app. It's fake, and it steals every password saved on their computer.
The fake sites are hard to spot because they copy the real ones closely, and the link is often an ad shown above the real website in the results.
Security firms have reported a lot more of this over the past year.
Only download software by going to the company's real website yourself, not by clicking an ad or a search result. If a page asks you to install something and you're not sure it's real, don't. And it helps to agree as a team on which AI tools you use, so people aren't installing unknown ones to try them out.
