Criminals can now successfully impersonate trusted individuals’ voices to trick their victims into revealing sensitive information or transferring money.  Advanced AI mimics the voices of those you trust with startling accuracy, which makes detection incredibly challenging.

Scammers may pose as CEOs, family members, or service providers, creating urgent scenarios to pressure victims into acting quickly. This social engineering tactic exploits the human tendency to trust familiar voices and help those in need.

To defend against AI voice cloning scams, maintain a high degree of skepticism toward unexpected or unusual demands.

Educate employees and family members about this threat and encourage them to confirm identities independently. For example, some families are using a secret family password to discern if a voice cloning criminal is scamming them. By staying vigilant, you can reduce the risk of falling victim.

Beyond AI voice cloning threats, businesses also need secure, compliant communication services.
