AI Is Reading Your Emails Before You Do

SipCyber - Presented by IT Audit Labs

About

AI doesn't just help defenders anymore—attackers are using it to study you before you ever know you're a target. 

In this episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze sits down at Forgotten Star Brewing in Fridley, MN—a former WWII manufacturing facility built on a legacy of doing things right—with a rare seasonal Maibock in hand, and a sharp warning about how AI is quietly transforming phishing attacks into something far more dangerous: emails that look exactly like everything else in your inbox. 

Key Topics Covered: 

    How attackers use AI to map relationships and mimic writing styles inside your organization Why 91% of successful cyberattacks still start with an email Advanced email filtering tools (Harmony, Abnormal) and what they actually do What you can do if you don't have enterprise-level protection at home The simple habit—verify outside the email—that can stop even sophisticated attacks 

This isn't about fear. It's about the one pause that changes everything. 

🍺 Featured Spot: Forgotten Star Brewing, Fridley, MN (Formerly a WWII boiler room—and yes, the Maibock is worth the wait.)
