AI has upended the economics of social engineering. Anyone can now craft fluent, context-aware lures at speed and scale. In this session, Abnormal AI’s EJ Whaley and world-renowned cyberpsychologist Dr. Mary Aiken unpack how attackers blend large language models with behavioral science—exploiting authority bias, urgency, and group conformity—to bypass human defenses across email, chat, and video (including deepfakes). We’ll examine why traditional awareness can backfire, how “phishing-as-a-service” industrializes fraud, and what it takes to restore trust in a zero-trust world.
