Episode 936: LLMs Are Delighted to Help Phishing Scams
How much power – and risk – do we carry around with us in our pockets? A Reuters investigation about how easily LLMs can be utilized for online phishing scams is the subject of this week’s Five-Minute Friday with Jon Krohn. By asking six of the most popular LLMs (Grok, ChatGPT, Meta AI, Claude, DeepSeek and Gemini) to generate phishing emails specifically targeting elderly people, Reuters found the safety sometimes severely lacking in the models. Listen to the episode to hear Jon quantify this problem with real-world examples, why mere content warnings in LLM models don’t work, and the troubling results of the phishing requests.
