AI-powered holiday scams surge, expert Dave Lewis warns

Cybersecurity expert Dave Lewis, global advisory CISO at 1Password, says scammers are now using AI to create hyper-realistic videos, emails, and messages, making holiday phishing attacks harder to detect. He says Gen Z and millennials are now the most targeted groups, a shift from past years when older adults were hit hardest. Lewis warns shoppers to verify every link, watch for fake shipping updates, and use strong, unique passwords to stay safe this season.
