ℹ️ Be Careful of Links in AI Chats
Researchers warn that scammers are buying fake website addresses that AI tools mistakenly invent, then using those sites to steal information or spread harmful downloads. This means people who trust AI-generated links could be sent to convincing but unsafe websites.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses AI assistants, chatbots, or search tools to find websites, especially for banking, shopping, work, or account logins, is at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for links from AI tools that lead to unfamiliar web addresses, slightly odd website names, or pages asking for passwords, payment details, or downloads.
What to do
Before clicking or signing in, double-check the website address by going directly to the company’s official site or app instead of relying only on an AI-provided link.
