Phishing & Cybersecurity Essentials: Staying Safe in the AI Era

Most people think they can spot a phishing email because of typos and awkward grammar. That was true five years ago. Today, attackers use AI to write bait that reads like a message from your actual boss, clones voices from three seconds of audio, and hides instructions inside documents you'd never suspect. The grammar rule is dead. The tactics that still work are psychological, and they haven't changed. This course focuses on those tactics. You'll learn the four pressure levers every phishing attack relies on, whether it arrives by email, text, phone call, or QR code. You'll learn what to do in the first 30 minutes after a suspicious click, in the right order, on the right device. And you'll learn how to handle AI-specific threats that didn't exist two years ago: deepfake voice and video calls, prompt injection hiding inside documents, and the real difference between pasting something into the free version of ChatGPT versus your company's enterprise system. The course is built for people who use computers and phones at work, not for security professionals. No technical background is required. Each lesson is short, specific, and built around what you actually do when something goes wrong, not theory about what attackers might someday try.
