A brilliant example of how easy it it for hackers to impersonate us & get personal data. As well as 2 factor authentication we need to start thinking about "safe words" so that we can confirm the person we are speaking to isn't a bot - great work from @RachelTobac
Please share this live hacking video with your loved ones so they can see just how easy it is to fake caller ID (and even clone a voice) to demand money or data over a scam phone call.
I’m hoping this demo helps even 1 person shut down a hacking attempt.
Here’s an example of a common phone call scam hitting folks right now — the criminal uses AI to clone the voice of a loved one (often a child, nephew, grandson, etc) and call you. When you pick up they tell you they’re in trouble and need money for bail, etc.
Voice cloning only takes me 2 minutes and could trick folks out of thousands, make sure your loved ones and coworkers are aware.
