AI Accelerates Deception Attacks Via SMS and Mobile Channels
What happened
Adversaries are using Artificial Intelligence to accelerate the speed and scale of deception through mobile communication vectors like SMS. Security experts note that while email security remains necessary, it is no longer sufficient on its own in the age of AI. Mobile messaging has become the primary and most vulnerable surface for human-layer attacks.

Why it matters
The shift in attack vectors means that organizations must reframe their security approach from filtering email to implementing multichannel, point-of-interaction defense. This evolution of social engineering from an email protocol attack into an AI-fueled interaction attack increases operational risk for businesses.
Air India is undergoing a major operational shift where its Artificial Intelligence capabilities are evolving from productivity tools to forming the core operating system of its services.
