I wonder how long it will take until another goal of these phone calls will be to gather enough samples to convincingly clone your voice.

- Sarkie 3y agoGood fucking point this
- ted_bunny 3y agoBad comment, this. Just upvote.
- rvz 3y agoExactly this. Another reason to not to use phone (or the numbers) calls to verify users even with so called 'voice identification or voice ID' which can easily be broken with advanced voice cloning.
- _def 3y agoRecently I was baffled how far we've come with this. It doesn't work perfectly, but could be enough to fool someone. Just one pip install and a short voice sample away: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
- ManBeardPc 3y agoThere is already a variant where they try to get someone to say „yes“ and just use a recording of it to use as „proof“ that you agreed to some contract.
- nebula8804 3y agoOMG that explains so much. I kept getting these calls where they would ask "Am I speaking with the head of the household?"...crap
- cozzyd 3y agoGood thing for Google call screening ...
- 14 3y agoI actually don’t answer unknown callers with “hello” or any words actually. I simply just say “mmmhhmm” or make a dumb sound if it is automated it will trigger the automatic message. Someone asked why and I said voice cloning software they said wtf you have nothing to steal. Just feels risky idk why.

- guappa 3y agoPhone providers have been doing this one in italy for over a decade.
- gruez 3y agoYou probably not going to get a voice clone from someone saying "hello?" 100 times. However, you don't really need to "MFA Bomb" people to clone their voice, just call them with a plausible sounding reason that will cause them to engage in an extended conversation (eg. "hey this is your uber/doordash driver/doctor/school/daycare).
- rainbowzootsuit 3y agoI just really want to hear you say "passport" !
- snowwrestler 3y agoWait. A computer matched her with him? I don't think so.
- xsmasher 3y agoWells Fargo actually uses this for voice verification. They ask you to say "My voice is my password. Please verify me." I thought it was a joke at first. I have no idea what they compare it to??
