Con artists are loving AI applications! A scammer in China conned a man out of Rs 5 crores by posing as a friend, in urgent need of money. In a different case, a group of men called a woman, posing as her daughter, while using an AI-based voice modulator.
Scammers are using generative AI, such as ChatGPT and ElevenLabs, to impersonate voices, produce more sophisticated phishing emails, and develop malware. To stay up with constantly growing threats, cybersecurity organisations are adopting AI themselves.
