In this instance, criminals use artificial intelligence to mimic human speech patterns to deceive their targets into disclosing private information and\/or transferring funds. In contrast to standard phishing email frauds that involve mass distribution, AI-based phishing fraud leverages state-of-the-art voice replication and spoofing techniques, enabling criminals to make calls that appear entirely<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> legitimate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Entities across the globe have begun experiencing a rise in artificial intelligence vishing schemes. These scams allow the perpetrators to impersonate various individuals in an effort to manipulate their victims. Because the human voice creates an inherent level of trust, AI vishing fraud is often much more effective at perpetrating fraud than email-based phishing scams.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #414141;color:#414141\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #414141;color:#414141\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#What_is_AI_Vishing\" >What is AI Vishing?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#How_AI_Vishing_Works\" >How AI Vishing Works<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#Why_AI_Vishing_Attacks_Are_Increasing\" >Why AI Vishing Attacks Are Increasing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#AI_Vishing_and_Adaptive_Security\" >AI Vishing and Adaptive Security<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#AI-Powered_Vishing_Training_Tools\" >AI-Powered Vishing Training Tools<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#How_to_Protect_Your_Organization_from_AI_Vishing\" >How to Protect Your Organization from AI Vishing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/ai-vishing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform of <\/span><\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">the&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/consumer.ftc.gov\/articles\/phone-scams\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">U.S<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/consumer.ftc.gov\/articles\/phone-scams\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Federal Trade Commission shows that losses due to voice-based fraud are continuing to climb as thieves continue to leverage cutting-edge technological tools.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_AI_Vishing\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>What is AI Vishing?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span>what is <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/vishing-attack\/\">voice phishing attack<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> question usually refers to scams where attackers use phone calls to steal information.
