1M+ Emails Use Hidden Text to Dupe AI Security Filters
Researchers have identified over one million emails using hidden text techniques called text salting to bypass AI-powered email security filters. The method exploits weaknesses in how large language models (LLMs) process obfuscated content, allowing phishing messages to reach user inboxes undetected.
Why it matters: Security teams relying on AI email filters need to understand this evasion technique impacts organizations across all industries; you should evaluate whether your email security provider has detection logic for text salting and consider supplementing with additional authentication controls.

1M+ Emails Use Hidden Text to Dupe AI Security Filters
Over one million emails are using hidden text techniques to evade artificial intelligence-based security filters. Text salting, a method that obscures content while remaining readable to humans, proves effective at bypassing AI-driven email defenses and allowing malicious messages to reach user inboxes.
Why it matters: Email administrators and security teams rely on AI filters to catch phishing, but this evasion technique puts all users at risk of delivery of deceptive messages that bypass those protections.
