AI voice cloning technology has advanced from science fiction to an enterprise security crisis. With just 3 seconds of audio, fraudsters can create convincing deepfake voices that bypass traditional security measures, costing businesses billions in losses.

How AI Voice Cloning Attacks Work

The Attack Chain

  1. 1
    Data Collection: Fraudsters collect voice samples from social media, voicemails, or public recordings
  2. 2
    Model Training: AI models learn speech patterns, tone, and cadence from audio samples
  3. 3
    Target Selection: High-value targets like executives, finance teams, or customer support are identified
  4. 4
    Vishing Attack: Deepfake calls convince victims to transfer funds, share credentials, or perform actions
