Experts use the voice generated by AI to successfully pass the bank voice verification system, and can view the balance and recent transfer records.
CTOnews.com, February 25 (Xinhua) most US and European banks offer voice ID login methods, but the latest security experts say they can use voice generated by artificial intelligence (AI) to deceive banks' authentication systems.
Veteran writer Joseph Cox (Joseph Cox) recently posted an article on the Vice platform, sharing how he successfully used the voice generated by AI to hack into bank accounts.
Cox called the bank's service hotline, and then he clicked on a file on his nearby laptop and played a voice that said, "check my balance." In fact, this is not his voice, but the sound generated by using AI.
Part of the article translated by CTOnews.com is as follows:
I can't believe it-- it worked. I successfully used the sound generated by artificial intelligence to enter the bank account. After that, I can access the account information, including the balance and the list of recent transactions and transfers.
This experiment breaks the idea that voice-based biometric security does not properly protect users' privacy.
Some experts are now calling on banks to abandon voice authentication altogether because the misuse of artificial intelligence voice can lead to fraud and account hacking attacks.
