AI Voice Scam: Fake CEO Calls Steal $2M from Companies

AI Voice Scam: Fake CEO Calls Steal $2M from Companies

On March 18, 2025, cybersecurity experts revealed a shocking AI-powered scam. Hackers used voice cloning technology to impersonate CEOs and trick employees into sending money. Over 50 companies lost $2 million in just 72 hours.

New Threat Alert: These fake calls sound exactly like real CEOs!

How the Scammers Operated

Step 1: Voice Cloning

  • Collected CEO voices from YouTube videos
  • Used AI tools like VoiceForge Pro to clone voices
  • Added background noise to sound like phone calls

Step 2: Fake Emergency Calls

  • "This is urgent! Wire $50k to supplier ASAP!"
  • "Don't tell anyone - confidential merger!"
  • "I'm in a meeting, text me when done"

Step 3: Money Transfer

  • Used cryptocurrency wallets
  • Set up fake vendor accounts
  • Transferred money overseas

How to Protect Your Company

  • Verification Code: Create a secret password for money requests
  • Slow Down: Never rush payments - real CEOs allow checks
  • Training: Teach staff about voice phishing techniques

3 Signs of Fake AI Calls

  1. Call comes from unknown number
  2. Speaker avoids video calls
  3. Request breaks normal rules

Cybersecurity Certification Alert

The CISA now recommends new training for financial staff:

  • AI Threat Recognition Certification
  • Emergency Payment Protocols Course
  • Voice Authentication Workshops
