| Voice cloning is becoming increasingly popular among cybercriminals as they look to take advantage of artificial intelligence technology with fraudulent schemes. Beware of AI Voice Cloning Scams - Trend Micro News Alert As technology continues to advance, so do the nefarious ways of criminals. Now, cybercriminals are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) technology to commit fraud with a new scheme known as “voice cloning.” According to the latest news from Trend Micro, voice cloning involves artificial intelligence-powered technology that can quickly create an almost perfect replica of a person’s voice.

With this technology, criminals can carry out a variety of scams, such as phishing attacks, robocalls, and more. For example, they can send out automated messages in a person’s voice to trick their victims into thinking they’re speaking to the real person. The potential for fraudulent activities with voice cloning is a worrying trend that cyber security experts are extremely concerned about. With this technology in the hands of criminals, they can easily exploit victims with their impersonating AI voice clones. It has the potential to be a powerful tool for cybercriminals, so now more than ever, it’s important to stay vigilant and protect yourself from potential scams. Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself against voice cloning scams. Trend Micro recommends staying aware of signs of potential scams, such as requests for personal information, or any unknown phone numbers or messages. Additionally, use strong password protection and two-factor authentication when available. Don’t click on unfamiliar links and never give out your personal details to someone you don’t know.
