Summary
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) employees are encountering a rise in "vhishing," a sophisticated scam that uses AI-generated voice messages to mimic trusted individuals and deceive victims into revealing sensitive information or making financial transactions. This form of voice phishing employs advanced AI techniques, including deep learning algorithms, to create highly convincing impersonations, making it difficult for targets to discern the fraud. The consequences of falling for such scams can be severe, leading to significant financial loss and identity theft. To address these threats, VUMC is working on strategies to educate employees about the risks associated with AI voice scams.
