Laser phishing is the impending barrage of attacks where bots will impersonate people using AI.

In plain english, your profile on social media sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, Twitter reveals a lot about who your friends or ‘important people’ in your life are. Now imagine a bot using artificial intelligence tries to pick up a thread and then ‘laser targets you’ using good old phishing techniques. You won’t know whether it’s real or not because of the context!

Bingo! You’ve just been ‘laser phished’!
