📈 The New Threat Landscape
As cybercriminals adopt AI tools to supercharge their phishing scams, families and everyday internet users are facing new, intelligent threats online. According to the 2025 YouGov Phishing Report, 79% of Brits are now worried about AI-powered phishing scams, with a growing number of users unsure whether they could even spot a fake.
From ultra-realistic fake emails to voice deepfakes mimicking loved ones or trusted brands, phishing is no longer just a nuisance — it’s a sophisticated digital weapon.
In this blog we uncover what we at Gigabit IQ are doing to educate regarding AI phishing protection for families.
🧠 What Makes This Wave of AI Phishing So Dangerous for Families?
-
AI mimics human communication to an uncanny degree — making scam messages harder to spot.
-
Real-time personalisation means cybercriminals can tailor attacks based on your online activity.
-
Voice and video deepfakes are now being used to gain trust faster than ever before.
As phishing attacks become more believable, home users are now the front line — and that means ISPs need to do more than just deliver speed.
