In just the past four months, the number of incidents involving voice copying has increased by 60%.
The number of scammers with voice-copying tools is growing rapidly. Criminals have a variety of materials to teach artificial intelligence algorithms, including audio clips, podcasts, and online presentations. 45 minutes of sound is enough for the technology to learn how to imitate the voice. This was reported by Fortune.
According to experts from the information security firm Secure Anchor, in just the last four months, the number of such incidents has increased by 60%. 17 companies lost an average of $175 thousand due to fraud with voice copying, and in one case hackers gained access to the enterprise's IT systems.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such scams is to develop protocols and rules that define the conditions for transferring funds, as well as setting limits on the amounts. For example, after a call asking for money, passwords, or other important information, employees must confirm these requests by calling the caller's phone number from another phone.
Managers may also consider using changeable code words for money transfers. Scammers can copy the voice, but they are unlikely to be able to answer special questions.
