Phishing soars 466%: is your brand the next target of artificial intelligence scams?

A high alert scenario was drawn up for the digital environment at the beginning of 2025. The most recent Threat Report from Gen (parent company of brands such as Norton and Avast) revealed alarming data: phishing reports grew 466% in the first quarter of the year.

The report also points to the worrying sophistication of digital scams, now powered by artificial intelligence to create personalized and highly convincing threats.

The question that remains is: how does this invisible threat directly impact your business? Especially before your customers become victims and your reputation is tarnished?

Come with Branddi and learn more about this new digital battlefield!

What does this mean for your brand?

For business owners and marketing managers, this data isn't just cybersecurity statistics. After all, they are yet another red flag for brand health and integrity.

And today's scammers aren't limited to attacking IT infrastructures. They target a company's most valuable asset: customer trust.

Using AI, they are able to:

• Clone your digital identity: create sites, social media profiles, and paid ads that are visually identical to your official channels;
• Launch fake promotions: use the name and credibility of your brand to promote misleading offers, stealing money from your customers;
• Erode trust: each customer deceived by a scam that uses your brand name becomes a potential detractor, generating complaints, overwhelming your support and, in the worst case, resulting in legal proceedings.

Additionally, Gen's report confirms that these scams are being hosted on trusted domains and legitimate platforms, making the manual detection of these Phishing practically impossible.

That is, while you invest in building a solid reputation, scammers are, right now, using your name to illegally profit and destroy your work.

So what's the solution?

Waiting for a customer to complain about a scam is already too late. Defending against these modern threats requires an approach that combines cutting-edge technology with human expertise.

After all, protecting your brand goes far beyond traditional firewalls and antiviruses. You need to adopt a proactive stance, involving continuous monitoring of your brand's digital presence, automatic scam detection, and quick responses to any sign of misuse.
