Modern advances in neural networks and chatbots, such as ChatGPT, create additional risks, allowing scammers to make their letters even more realistic. Particular attention is paid to the reasons for the high effectiveness of phishing schemes, including psychological pressure, sudden tempting offers, and the use of fear of losing data or funds.

The article focuses on the serious consequences of phishing, which include loss of funds, personal data, and access to important accounts.
