AI-generated phishing is the scariest development in cybersecurity right now. Click rates on AI-written phishing emails are 54% compared to 12% for traditional attacks. Automated real-time detection is the only scalable answer at this point

Click rate is higher because AI removes the broken English and generic scams. But detection is not the only answer.

Most phishing comes from a small set of hosting providers that ignore reports. The real fix is making abuse reports actionable. Fix that, and you cripple the economics of phishing. AI detection is reactive; killing the source is proactive.
