How I Broke Into a #Bank Account With an #AI-Generated #Voice
Banks in the U.S. and Europe tout #voiceID as a secure way to log into your account. I proved it's possible to trick such systems with free or cheap AI-generated voices.

#VoiceID #Biometrics #DataProtection #Banking #AI: “I had used an AI-powered replica of a voice to break into a bank account. After that, I had access to the account information, including balances and a list of recent transactions and transfers.
Banks across the U.S. and Europe use this sort of voice verification to let customers log into their account over the phone. Some banks tout voice identification as equivalent to a fingerprint, a secure and convenient way for users to interact with their bank. But this experiment shatters the idea that voice-based biometric security provides foolproof protection in a world where anyone can now generate synthetic voices for cheap or sometimes at no cost. I used a free voice creation service from ElevenLabs, a powerful AI-voice company that has already been used to dox and harass specific people.
Now, that abuse can extend to fraud and hacking. Some experts I spoke to after doing this experiment are now calling for banks to ditch voice authentication altogether, although real-world abuse at this time could be rare.“
