The AI part does seem relevant because it enabled incredibly low-effort “social” engineering.

For what it’s worth I don’t think you can call this social engineering since there was no human on the other end, even though it appears similar.

The question is, if there were actual human support agents, would they have built additional safeguards to prevent social engineering in this manner?
