What is the role of augmented reality phishing in modern scams?

Augmented reality phishing is a deceptive technique where cybercriminals use augmented reality technology to manipulate and deceive victims into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials, financial details, or personal data. In modern scams, attackers may create fake augmented reality experiences or overlay phishing content on legitimate AR applications to trick users into providing personal information or unknowingly installing malware on their devices. This form of phishing leverages the immersive and interactive nature of augmented reality to engage victims and exploit their trust, making it challenging for users to discern between real and fake content.
