## Summary

AI-assisted vibe coding tools like Lovable and Claude are enabling a new wave of better-designed spam and phishing emails.

Security researchers call this 'VibeScamming,' noting the bar for creating convincing phishing schemes has never been lower. Some detection tips still apply: check the sender address, look for generic greetings using your email username instead of your name, and watch for emails sent from bare Firebase domains. Legitimate vibe-coded apps also risk being mistaken for scams due to their characteristic AI-generated aesthetic.
