Listen "HLTH and Cyberattacks"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Gloria Wu highlights a significant cybersecurity incident involving a Hong Kong finance worker who was tricked into transferring 220 million Hong Kong dollars (around 25 million USD) after believing he was speaking with his CEO through a deep fake voice call. This fraud occurred in February 2024 and involved sophisticated AI-generated technology that convincingly mimicked the CEO's voice, leading to a substantial financial loss for the company. Dr. Wu stresses the importance of being aware of deep fakes in business settings and encourages organizations to implement safeguards against such scams. As deep fake technology advances, understanding its potential for deception is crucial for protecting against financial fraud.
