I tested NordVPN's free scam checker against a real threat in my inbox - here's how it did

NordVPN's free AI-powered scam checker was tested against advanced recruitment scams and demonstrated mixed effectiveness in detecting phishing emails. The tool failed to identify some sophisticated scams while catching others, leaving users of NordVPN's services potentially exposed to credential theft or malware. Organizations relying on AI-based security tools should validate their detection capabilities against evolving social engineering tactics.

Can an AI tool successfully detect not just standard scams, but those created with the same technology? I put NordVPN's new offering to the test with advanced recruitment scams filling my inbox.
