The rise of artificial intelligence has not only brought about advancements but also introduced elaborate new scams. AI technologies like ChatGPT and MidJourney have seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, making tasks easier. However, the dark side of AI emerges in the form of sophisticated scams. Hackers are now leveraging AI to create fake news and manipulate images to deceive people on social media platforms. One of the latest AI scams involves mimicking the voice of individuals' loved ones to trick them into sending money.
This new scam operates by collecting audio samples of a person's voice from various sources online. Once enough samples are gathered, hackers use AI software to replicate the voice and make phone calls to the victim's family or friends, pretending to be in need of urgent financial assistance. The scam has already caused chaos in many families, prompting warnings from organizations like the International Better Business Bureau. It is crucial for individuals to verify the authenticity of such calls, avoid rushing into sending money, and implement security measures like multifactor authentication to protect against such scams.
