Generative AI is making fake login pages easier to scale
Original title: AI-Generated Fake Login Pages Are Making Account Takeovers Easier
The 2026 Verizon DBIR linked phishing to 44% of the AI-assisted initial-access techniques it examined.
A Keeper Security contributed article says generative AI lets attackers copy brand login pages, personalize lures, and scale phishing that steals passwords, MFA codes, or session tokens through adversary-in-the-middle proxies. It cites lookalike domains, short-lived sites, and delivery outside email as reasons filters and training miss attacks. The piece recommends phishing-resistant MFA and promotes Keeper's on-device phishing detection.
- AiTM proxies can capture a session cookie after the user completes MFA.
- FIDO2 keys and passkeys bind authentication to the real site domain.
- Links may arrive by text, collaboration tools, or search ads.
