You have been warned — this is dangerous.
Republished on May 18 with additional commentary, advice and resources on defending against these dangerous messages, where normal detection is impossible.. Forget looking for telltale signs, the latest set of AI-fueled attacks are so sophisticated you need to check everything to ensure you’re not being attacked.
Before answering calls or responding to messages, “verify the identity of the person calling you or sending text or voice messages.” The same goes for voices. “Listen closely to the tone and word choice to distinguish between a legitimate phone call or voice message from a known contact and AI-generated voice cloning, as they can sound nearly identical.”
In the wake of the FBI’s latest warning, ESET’s Jake Moore told me “it’s vital people think with a clear head before responding to messages from unknown sources claiming to be someone they know. But with newer, impressive and evolving technology, it is understandable why people are quicker to let down their guard and assume that seeing is believing. Deepfake technology is now at an incredible level which can even produce flawless videos and audio clips cleverly designed to manipulate victims.
