It only takes three seconds of audio content for AI to clone someone’s
voice. And one call from a scammer to trick you into thinking a
‘friend’ needs money.
Scammers will often use a method called spoofing, which is when they
make a call or text look like it’s coming from someone you know.
AI is making it too easy to fake videos, phone calls or texts.

You need to create a secret password with your family

Quotes:
There have been increasing calls for people, and particularly
families, to create passphrases or passwords for each other. In early
December, the FBI issued a recommendation that people create a “secret
word or phrase with their family to verify their identity,” and
British bank Starling has also published guidelines on how to create
safe phrases with other people. It’s a simple, if not new, approach
that can be potentially effective. For example, if you receive a
message or call from your “son” or “daughter” urgently asking for
money to get out of a tight spot, asking them to provide a previously
agreed-upon passphrase can reveal whether it is really them.
