I honestly don't think the world is ready for AI disinfo 😭 it took me 30 mins to locally gen a video of our CEO using a voice clone and text to speech, a mini #vishing (yucky) video experiment. Its definitely at the point it could fool many unaware people.
I feel we need more gov awareness campaigns around this
Oplichters worden steeds creatiever in hun technieken, en de zogenaamde helpdeskfraude is daar een duidelijk voorbeeld van.

Security Week 2524: кража данных из Salesforce с помощью голосового фишинга
Команда Google Threat Intelligence на прошлой неделе опубликовала отчет о системных атаках на организации, целью которых является хищение данных из CRM-системы Salesforce. Важной особенностью атаки является использование так называемого vishing или голосового фишинга. Работает атака следующим образом: сотруднику компании звонят на мобильный телефон, представляются специалистом техподдержки и убеждают ввести в интерфейсе Salesforce код для авторизации стороннего приложения. Приложение, доступ к которому открывает сотрудник компании, является модифицированной версией официальной утилиты Salesforce Data Loader , обеспечивающей возможность автоматизированной выгрузки информации. Данная тактика привела к целой серии успешных взломов с последующей кражей данных компаний.
Hackers are impersonating IT support in phone calls to trick employees and breach corporate systems, says Google. Their main target? Salesforce environments.

Artificial intelligence has supercharged social engineering attacks, with chatbots now capable of conducting convincing spear-phishing campaigns at massive scale. AI can analyze public social media profiles to craft personalized attacks, generate believable pretexts, and even maintain conversations that adapt to victim responses in real-time. Voice cloning technology has enabled "vishing" attacks where criminals impersonate CEOs or family members with synthesized audio that's nearly indistinguishable from the real person.
The emergence of deepfake video calls represents the next frontier. Attackers can now impersonate executives in Zoom meetings or create fake video evidence for business email compromise schemes. What's particularly concerning is how these AI tools are becoming democratized through user-friendly platforms, lowering the technical barrier for sophisticated social engineering attacks that previously required significant skill and time investment.

#FBI Warns of #AI Voice #Scams Impersonating US Govt Officials
FBI has warned about a sophisticated #vishing and #smishing campaign using AI-generated voice memos to impersonate senior US officials and target their contacts.
These AI-generated voice memos, combined with deceptive text messages, are being used in attempts to target current/former government officials, and individuals in their contact lists.

Deepfake Danger: FBI Issues Urgent Warning on AI Voice Attacks
Since April, cybercriminals have been using AI-generated voice deepfakes to impersonate senior U.S. officials in phishing attacks that target current and former government personnel.
The FBI’s latest alert warns of growing threats from vishing (voice phishing) and smishing (SMS phishing), where attackers use cloned voices and fake texts to build trust, then trick victims into handing over sensitive data or access.
One tactic? Sending links that move the conversation to other messaging platforms, then hijacking accounts to target additional contacts.
You can't assume messages or even video calls are real these days, so always verify sensitive requests through another known communications channel! These attacks underscore the need for stronger verification protocols, staff training, and multi-layered defenses. Contact us if you need help implementing these proactive cybersecurity controls.
