A new contact claims to be from a trusted supplier. The conversation seems genuine, but something unexpected happens when they send an invoice requesting a payment of $48,500. Is it a real business request or an AI-powered phishing attack?

In this animated story, discover how attackers use AI agents to build trust, impersonate business contacts, and trick employees into making payments.

This type of attack is called Agentic Phishing, where AI-powered agents are used to carry out realistic and targeted phishing attacks.

Key lessons

• Always verify someone's identity before sharing information.
• Be careful with unexpected invoices and payment requests.
