Objectives

ScamAI combats vishing through European attack analysis, innovative generative AI-powered training that is easy to use and understand, and elderly-focused cybersecurity education. It creates a Cybersecurity Ambassador Network for community impact through peer-learning and applies behavioral science formats for habit formation. These initiatives enhance vishing awareness, detection skills, and long-term security behaviors across diverse populations.

Activities

The project implements four key activities starting with a Pan-European Vishing Context Analysis that will help the consortium to have a solid understanding of attack contexts across Europe, a Blended Learning Program with innovative generative AI Simulations, tailored for older adults and working people, uplifted by a Cybersecurity Ambassador Program that will train participants and educators as peer educators to spread knowledge and skills throughout communities and finally Habit Hack Summits.

Impact

The ScamAI initiative will produce a Pan-European Vishing Taxonomy, an AI-powered vishing simulation, and a blended learning curriculum to enhance cybersecurity skills. It will train Cybersecurity Ambassadors for peer-led education and host Habit Hack Summits to drive behavioral change. Long-term, it will reduce vishing attacks, create sustainable education networks, influence EU cybersecurity policies, and provide scalable resources for broader adoption.
