A Florida man shared a chilling tale of how his parents were almost scammed using AI voice-cloning technology. The scammers cloned his voice and tricked his parents into believing he was in trouble and needed $30,000 for bail. This incident highlights the growing threat of AI-based scams targeting private individuals. A US politician's family also nearly fell victim to a similar scam demanding ₹25 lakh. A cybersecurity researcher from Unit42_Intel noted that audio deepfake attacks, once primarily aimed at businesses, are now increasingly targeting individuals.
