Those defenses are improving, and attackers are adapting. Increasingly, they are shifting to a channel that remains fundamentally exposed: voice.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"person__name\">Mark Himelfarb<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Social Links Navigation<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"button-social__icon button-social__icon-website\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-32a88b8b-9794-41ea-aee6-16fe653cade5\">Unlike email or messaging, voice happens in real time. There\u2019s no chance to check a link, involve IT, or step away to think through it. Responses are immediate, and that\u2019s exactly what makes it effective for attackers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-32a88b8b-9794-41ea-aee6-16fe653cade5-1\">Now, AI is amplifying that risk.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/media\/img\/techradar_logo_v2.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"max-h-12 w-auto\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ai-is-making-voice-fraud-more-convincing-and-more-scalable-3\">AI is making voice fraud more convincing and more scalable<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-d8cec7d9-fa34-47f5-ab5f-342f210a08dd\">Voice cloning and deep-fake technologies are advancing rapidly. With only a short audio sample, as little as ten seconds, it is now possible to replicate a person&#8217;s voice with high accuracy. Combined with caller ID spoofing, attackers can convincingly impersonate executives, colleagues, or trusted brands.<\/p>\n<p>Voice-based social engineering is increasingly appearing inside enterprises, not just in consumer scams, with attacks targeting employees, partners, and even supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Voice works because it feels immediate. It\u2019s hard to ignore. Tone and urgency come across quickly, and a caller who sounds familiar or credible can push someone to act before they stop to question it.<\/p>\n<p>These incidents aren\u2019t driven by carelessness; they reflect how people respond under pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-existing-protections-fall-short-3\">Why existing protections fall short<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-375e0051-d504-4705-a717-6e4212c5f23c\">Industry frameworks like STIR\/SHAKEN were a step in the right direction; they help detect and prevent caller ID spoofing during transmission. But these frameworks address only one part of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Network authentication can confirm that the call path hasn\u2019t been tampered with.
