In 2023, over $10 million was stolen from U.S. consumers through advanced call spoofing techniques in the financial sector, with criminals utilizing AI to impersonate voices. This alarming trend has prompted warnings from the FBI regarding AI-driven scams targeting personal finances. Researchers have highlighted that AI is particularly effective in crafting business email compromise scams, which manipulate recipients into transferring funds or sharing confidential information. Additionally, a recent analysis by Krebs on Security detailed the operations of a prolific voice phishing crew, emphasizing the growing sophistication of these scams. Apple's new AI feature, which converts scam messages into legitimate-looking alerts, has raised concerns about inadvertently increasing the risk for iPhone and Mac users by making them more susceptible to fraudulent communications.
