The Con Artist Just Got an AI Upgrade

​The Con Artist Just Got an AI Upgrade 🤖🎭

​Real people. Real inboxes. Real failures, before AI even entered the picture.

​Cybersecurity Engineer Omar ElZaher has spent the past year running phishing simulations inside a regulated financial institution, observing in real time where people actually break: which lures work, which red flags get ignored, and why “just look for typos” stopped being useful advice a long time ago.

​Now he’s breaking down what happens when AI enters the picture: cloned voices, deepfake video calls, and phishing emails that no longer trigger the warning signs you were trained to spot.

​Using insights from real-world phishing simulations as the baseline, this session explores how AI is rewriting the social engineering playbook—and what still works to defend against it.

​🔹 In this session, you’ll learn:
✔️ Where people actually fail in phishing simulations, before AI ever entered the picture
✔️ How AI is rewriting the attack playbook with voice cloning, deepfakes, and next-generation phishing
✔️ Why the red flags you were trained to spot are becoming increasingly unreliable
✔️ Practical ways to recognize and defend against AI-powered social engineering attacks

​💡 Whether you work in tech, run a business, or simply use email like a normal human, this session will change how you look at every suspicious message that lands in your inbox.
