4. AI-Driven Phishing Emails

Phishing emails have become more convincing with the help of AI, which can personalize messages to target specific individuals. In the travel sector, these emails often masquerade as booking confirmations, itinerary updates, or loyalty program notifications. They typically contain links that lead to malicious sites designed to capture personal and financial information. To protect yourself, scrutinize the sender's email address, look for grammatical errors, and avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unsolicited emails. Always access your travel accounts directly through official websites.
