Cyber security: Netsafe’s new AI tool lets you scam the scammers, By Chris Keall 17 Jun, 2024 05:00 AM

Interesting article. I wonder how long the scammers will take to come up with a work around using their own AI ??

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Wouldn't the scammers just need to maintain a list of all the email addresses they sent their original message to? The replies from ReScam would, by necessity, have a different From (or Reply-To) header.
