🎙️ AI Voice Cloning Scam Targets Italy’s Business Elite

A recent AI-driven scam has shaken Italy’s business community. Fraudsters used advanced voice cloning technology to impersonate Defence Minister Guido Crosetto, convincing former Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti to transfer nearly €1 million under the pretense of a government operation to rescue kidnapped journalists.

The calls appeared to originate from official government numbers, adding credibility to the fraudulent requests. The AI-generated voice was so convincing that Moratti believed he was speaking directly with the minister. Fortunately, authorities managed to trace and freeze the funds in a Dutch account.

This incident highlights the growing threat of AI-enabled fraud. Traditional verification methods are no longer sufficient. Businesses must implement multi-factor authentication and educate employees about the risks of social engineering attacks.
