[Cybercriminals Exploit AI Voice Phishing to Target Cryptocurrency Executives]
Reported by Jinse Finance, the latest security report from GK8 reveals that cybercriminals are recruiting professional voice impersonators on underground forums to launch sophisticated 'vishing' (voice phishing) attacks against U.S. cryptocurrency executives.
These highly targeted attacks focus on high-value individuals who have access to custodial infrastructure and private keys, with operators earning up to $20,000 per month. Attackers use meticulously gathered personal information, deepfake technology, and voice changers to impersonate banks, crypto services, and government agencies in social engineering schemes.
Tanya Bekker, Head of Security Research at GK8, warns that distinguishing between real and fake will become increasingly challenging in the next 12-18 months. She advises crypto organizations to implement specific protocols and training to counter voice and video-based social engineering strategies.
