Scammers are getting smarter—and thanks to AI, they can sound more convincing than ever. 📱🤖 Jeff Lunglhofer, Chief Security Officer at Coinbase, explains how artificial intelligence is changing the scam landscape and why anyone can become a target.

Today’s scams aren’t just generic emails or suspicious texts. They can sound like a family member in trouble or reference personal details to make their story feel real. Jeff says the biggest red flag is urgency. If someone pressures you to send money or share sensitive information immediately, stop, slow down, and verify before taking action.

One of his simplest recommendations? Create a family “safe word.” It’s an easy way to confirm you’re really talking to a loved one during an emergency and could help protect your family from increasingly sophisticated AI impersonation scams.
