According to fact-checking group Mimikama, cybercriminals are deploying generative AI tools to produce entire networks of fake online shops, realistic deepfake videos, and phishing campaigns that target unsuspecting shoppers.

Fraudsters can now set up fully functional e-commerce sites within minutes, complete with logos, product photos, and even fabricated reviews. These sites often…
