“Consciousness is your first defense, but technology must be your shield,” Ray said. “Our goal is to help Bluffton residents and small businesses enjoy the holidays without falling victim to scams.”
SNS Technologies warns Bluffton businesses about the rise of AI-powered phishing scams this holiday season and shares expert tips to stay protected this season. Learn how to secure your inbox with smarter email security.
Bluffton, SC – As the holidays approach, SNS Technologies [https://snstechnologies.net/] is warning Bluffton businesses to be alert to a sharp increase in phishing cyber attacks that often target customers, businesses and charities during this busy time of year.
According to Michael Ray, spokesperson for SNS Technologies, the tactics behind these scams have evolved dramatically.
“Phishing is no longer just about suspicious emails from fake princes,” says Ray. “We’re seeing AI-generated messages and realistic social engineering that can fool even cautious users. The threats look authentic, and that’s what makes them so dangerous.”
In a recent report [https://snstechnologies.net/phishing-scams-are-evolving-heres-what-you-need-to-know/] on their website, SNS Technologies explained how cybercriminals use AI tools to create persuasive messages that can bypass standard spam filters. Some attacks now embed hidden HTML and CSS code into legitimate-looking emails, tricking users into clicking fake support links or calling fraudulent helplines.
Another emerging scam involves impostors posing as journalists and reaching out through fake TechCrunch social media accounts to PR professionals and business owners. Once trust is established, the attacker sends a malicious link disguised as an interview request, resulting in stolen credentials or malware infections.
SNS Technologies says these examples reflect a broader trend: criminals manipulate trust itself.
“People tend to act quickly when they think something is urgent or credible,” Ray added. “That is exactly what these scams are exploiting.”
To help residents stay safe, SNS Technologies recommends some important steps this holiday season:
*
Pause before you click – Hover over links to verify URLs.
*
Be Skeptical of Urgency – Scammers rely on panic or excitement to get you to act quickly.
*
Check the sender – Even household names can be spoofed.
*
Use email security tools – Layered security is essential as attacks become more sophisticated.
SNS Technologies offers advanced email security solutions designed to detect and block phishing attempts before they reach your inbox. Their system uses intelligent filtering, real-time threat analysis and adaptive learning to evolve with the latest cyber threats.
“Consciousness is your first defense, but technology must be your shield,” Ray said. “Our goal is to help Bluffton residents and small businesses enjoy the holidays without falling victim to scams.”
