MASTERCLASS: AI-Enabled Social Engineering Attacks

Most attacks succeed not by breaking technology, but by deceiving people. Generative AI now lets criminals write flawless messages, clone a familiar voice and even fake a live video call, making deception faster, cheaper and far more convincing. This two-hour masterclass shows investigative professionals, and wider roles of interest, - how AI-enabled manipulation works, so that they can recognise and react to it. No coding, technical knowledge or particular IT skills are required!

What you will learn:

· What social engineering is and why people are the target

· How AI writes convincing, error-free scam messages at scale

· How voice cloning and deepfake video impersonate trusted people

· How attackers build and sustain believable fake personas

· Practical steps to spot and stop AI-enabled deception

Live demonstrations of:

· An AI-written phishing message tailored to a target

· A cloned voice making an urgent, convincing request

· A real-time deepfake video call impersonating a colleague

· The red flags that reveal an AI-driven approach
