Summary

Hide ▲

AI-generated voice cloning has significantly enhanced the sophistication of vishing attacks. Threat actors can now create convincing voice clones using minimal recorded audio, increasing the risk of social engineering attacks against enterprises and individuals. This development has already led to several successful breaches, including incidents at Cisco and Salesforce. The technology enables real-time voice impersonation, making it harder to detect and more convincing. Vishing attacks involve threat actors using voice calls to trick targets into revealing personal information, financial details, or corporate data. The use of AI in vishing has overcome previous limitations, allowing for real-time voice cloning with minimal delay and high accuracy. This advancement poses a significant threat to both organizations and individuals, necessitating enhanced security measures and awareness training.
