Hackers are using deepfake technology to create realistic voice recordings that mimic bank representatives or service providers, with the goal of stealing personal or financial information.
How to avoid it?
- Never share personal or financial information over the phone without verifying the caller’s identity.
- If you’re unsure, call the official customer service number directly.
- Use additional authentication methods, like one-time passwords (OTP), to confirm transactions.
As these technologies become more advanced, the risk of fraud increases. Stay alert and exercise caution with every call.
