| Voice Cloning Scams Increasing: What You Need to Know As technology rapidly advances, so do the ways in which criminals seek to take advantage of unsuspecting victims. The newest way they are doing so is through a technology known as ‘voice cloning’. This technology, developed by Trend Micro, enables criminals to use artificial intelligence (AI) to replicate a person’s voice, allowing them to pass off fake conversations as real ones. Voice cloning is a sophisticated form of fraud that scams consumers into sharing personal data or money. Scammers use the voices of victims, celebrities, politicians and executives to impersonate them in order to gain access to protected accounts or information. Voice cloning is a serious threat to consumers. Trend Micro’s research found that voice cloning is on the rise, and scammers are using AI to create fake voices that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. This makes it difficult for people to detect when a conversation or message is fake. Criminals are also using voice cloning to create automated calls that sound like real people. Fortunately, Trend Micro is actively working to combat voice cloning scams. They have released a new product, VoiceClone, which can detect when a voice is fake and stop scammers from using it to gain access to sensitive information. VoiceClone also provides consumers with additional protection by blocking automated calls and making sure the data they share is secure. Trend Micro’s VoiceClone can help protect consumers from becoming victims of voice cloning scams. It is important for people to be aware of the threats posed by voice cloning so they can stay safe and protect their personal data. With the introduction of VoiceClone, consumers will have an added layer of protection against the dangers of voice cloning. |
