At some point someone’s going to train an LLM on material from successful scams to autonomously generate new scams, then wire the money to server farms to run more copies of itself.

Ohhhh, that’s why I have to take those monthly security training quizzes, lol. I haven’t seen one on AI deepfakes though, I’m sure they’re coming.

This story sounds suss, but I want it to be true because

I’m surprised there was no further validation or approval for that kind of money beyond “find the right person and socially engineer them.”

The scam involving the fake CFO was only discovered when the employee later checked with the corporation’s head office.

A surprise teleconference resulting in the transfer of $25 million dollars? You can bet your ass I’m going to verify that transaction by calling the CFO on his direct line before any money is sent.
