The near-term impact of AI on the cyber threat

This is a legitimate security briefing from the National Cyber Security Centre, not a scam — it's exactly the sort of forward-thinking analysis you should be reading to understand emerging threats. Don't let knowledge of real cyber risks paralyse you; the best defence remains sensible caution and verification.

Stop and think before you act. If something feels urgent, threatening, or too good to be true — that urgency is the weapon. Scammers use pressure to override your judgement. Nothing is ever so urgent that you can't take five minutes to check, call back on a number you found yourself, or ask someone you trust.
