    ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overview are being poisoned by a massive AI disinformation attack. When users look up everyday info of hundreds of major companies, AI is delivering phishing traps disguised as trusted answers.

    Attackers are flooding the web with carefully optimized posts, PDFs, reviews, and fake support pages, to trick AI into presenting fraudulent phone numbers, email addresses, and login pages.

    The targets included Delta, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Chase, Bank of America, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and hundreds more.
