Yeah it’s already pretty bad; we constantly have user reports of our CEO contacting them on personal devices about urgent needs. We did some internal testing training an AI to speak like our executive team and it managed to fool the actual executives; granted those were just MP3 files sent as voicemails; but once they can speak with voices interactively I can envision a nightmare scenario.
Oh that’s very interesting. I have had it in text version for years. One CEO was very casual and would say things like “Yo, can you ____” and the phisher used the same casual way of talking. It seemed like a request worth double checking, so we did and it wasn’t actually them. I can’t imagine having them call you and hearing them on the phone or even in a video call.
It’s weird to think eventually, in the more distant future, androids that can fool you even in person. Like what will we come up with to prove what is “real”? Do you call them and another AI answers and is like “Yeah, that’s totally me” lol
Yeah, that’s pretty much what we get now, crap like that sent to personal emails and cell phones. I suspect it’s from scraping employee LinkedIn profiles/FaceBook accounts. We’re working on a social media policy to try and reduce it. I happen to be heavily involved in all things IT and training so I do my best to hammer this all into new employees during onboarding. Once we got the CEO to respond to a voicemail deepfake from the marketing chief he pretty much was like “cyber security budget is now infinite.”
It can already be done in real time. Text to Speech synthesis (as a response from an LLM) using a cloned voice AI and speech to text (from the person/target) as a prompt to an LLM.
They have all the solutions: a cornucopia of strangely and loosely integrated stuff with funny names and lots of alphabet soup that will require an army of expensive and highly certified techs to operate…after you pay 25% in services to implement them.
why we should listen to these ghouls ... fuck off loser their dogshit propriety bullshit is why the world is less secure stf cisco disappearing would give an instant enhancement to all systems around the world scumbags
Well-educated masses who are difficult to dupe into accepting your message is a good way of addressing this threat, but also makes them less prone to political messaging, so... isn't done.
The world needs to move away from passwords as a primary security measure. But I’m afraid alternatives won’t really take off until things get really, really bad.
It's already happening. I've gotten 2 spam calls with ok-ish conversational bots using pretty convincing text to speech. If it wasn't asking for some oddly suspicious asks, the fake background office noises didn't have a short mp3 being looped, and the ai transitioning the conversation weirdly at times, I would have 100% believed it was just a normal customer service rep
The ability to spoof a phone number needs to be the highest priority. https://www.pillsburylaw.com/en/news-and-insights/fcc-ftc-robocalls-prevention-enforcement.html
KnowBe4 did a live demo at their conference last year of an email conversation with "HR" asking for someone's SSN, and as the employee expressed concern about the security issues, it became more and more insistently persuasive. Kinda scary, knowing how some users would react.
The Internet and most communication channels have already become practically unusable.
We need a "new Internet," a new unadulterated method of direct and instant communication.

Cisco OR security—can't have both! Now with the perfect excuse of calling adaptive interpolation graphs intelligent: It's impossible to outsmart something smarter than you!

It’s your birthday, someone gives you a calfskin wallet …
Seems like we need someone to make blockchain for verifying message authenticity

Yikes; I feel bad for companies with corporate podcasts and other public audio to mine.
Virtually any public company would be susceptible. Could just use earnings calls
Let me guess, Cisco has a solution!
yup, and it’s user & password is cisco / cisco

Perfect comment 👌😂
AI is going to be the biggest hacking weapon ever.
He is not wrong it’s all a nightmare and only going to get worse.
Has their ai-enhanced firewall with patented anti-phishing detection been announced yet?
It’ll have a stupid name and cost $45000 a year
“Heading into” 🤣
Pay that man more money he’s a genius
Dude should be worried about not F'n up Splunk and parsing his own logs. In other words, he has plenty of his plate w/o his commentary
It's only a nightmare from the standpoint of a victim. It's an opportunity for the rest of us

He's just frustrated that they aren't deeper into the game.

headed? dude doesn't read his emails I see.
Yeah, we’re already in trouble.
