Deepfake AI Scammers Stole $26 Million. The Way They Did It Was Unheard Of
Technology has come a long way in recent years. Not only do we have innovations like the Apple Vision Pro, but technology has become heavily integrated into our everyday lives, being something we rely on in our day to day.
The same can be said for software, with leaps and bounds in technology coming up with new AI streamers, art, and even voices. Of course, these have all come with their own handful of criticism, with many critiquing that this new form of technology will be more harmful than helpful.
Now a new example of the misuse of technology has come in the form of a major scam that saw $26 million being stolen from a major multinational company.
The scammers reportedly used deepfake AI technology to impersonate the company’s CFO. Impersonating the CFO and other colleagues, the scammer invited a financial worker to a company meeting.
