A recent study of 2,000 UK employees by Dojo reveals a growing cybersecurity threat: AI-generated phishing emails are increasingly fooling staff—56% failed to distinguish them from legitimate messages, despite being confident in their judgment. Even higher-level employees fared poorly: 66% of executives and 73% of founders fell for convincing scam emails mimicking services like Google, Dropbox, or Slack, complete with polished grammar and familiar formatting. One tactic involved spoofing a CEO’s urgent request, tricking 68% of entry‑level workers. The study highlights how generative AI is elevating phishing threats beyond traditional indicators, underscoring the need for stronger domain authentication, regular simulated attacks, and focused training—especially for roles in finance and administration—to address the human vulnerability that remains the biggest risk.
