AI-Powered Voice Cloning Raises Vishing Risks
Dark Reading:, Tuesday, September 30th, 2025
A researcher-developed framework could enable attackers to conduct real-time conversations using simulated audio to compromise organizations and extract sensitive information.
As vishing becomes more frequently used amongst threat actors, researchers have discovered that AI-generated voice clones from as little as five minutes of recorded audio are well on the rise.
NCC Group's research team has explored how voice impersonation using AI allows for classic social engineering attacks to become even more refined, blurring the lines of what is real and what is simulated. This could put enterprises, their employees, and everyday individuals at increased risk of voice phishing or vishing attacks from bad actors trying to gain access to their personal information, financial accounts, sensitive corporate data, and more.
