the device."
IT architect of the Technological Transformation practice at Reksoft Consulting, Alexander Cherny, believes that the pre-holiday period, which includes the last quarter of the year, is a time when people, on the one hand, gradually become immersed in anticipation of one of the main holidays of the year and the upcoming long weekend and move into a more relaxed state, and on the other hand, would like to receive gifts for themselves or give them to their family and friends. "Fraudsters expect that the combination of these factors may lead to people being more likely to be interested in this kind of service, and belgium telegram they try to take advantage of this by activating their activities at this time of year," he says.
statistics, during the first three quarters of 2024, the leaders in spam email topics were invariably mailings with fake information products, letters from fake charities and carding (fraud with payment cards), so it can be assumed that in the first quarter of 2025 they will also regain their first place.
Leading case analyst of JSC InfoWatch (InfoWatch Group) Elix Smirnov noted that in the first quarter of the year there are two notable holidays - February 23 and March 8: "Probably, the theme of these events will be used in spam and phishing letters. Texts generated with the help of artificial intelligence, created for a specific user, will be increasingly used for spam and phishing. That is, they will use information collected from open accounts and stolen personal data. For security tools, such messages are much more difficult to distinguish - in particular, due to the uniqueness of the texts, tailored for each potential user."
Positive Technologies predicts that AI models will generate human-like emails, scan stolen correspondence, and tailor the style of messages to a specific user.
Lyudmila Bogatyreva noted that in 2025 we can expect an increase in the use of vishing - a telephone fraud in which attackers make calls using voice deepfakes. "Thus, in 2024, tens of thousands of phishing calls with fake voices of relatives and bosses were recorded. The spread of such calls is associated with the increase in the number of open-source models for voice generation. As a result, these tools have become more accessible to attackers," says Lyudmila Bogatyreva.
