Voice phishing, or Vishing is the use of telephony to conduct phishing attacks.*
Usually, voice phishing attacks are conducted using automated text-to-speech systems that direct a victim to call a number controlled by the attacker, however some use live callers.*
According to a report, social media attacks per target increased by 82 percent in 2021. Vishing or voice phishing cases doubled for the second quarter in a row. This increase indicates that threat actors are changing tactics.
Audio deepfakes have been used to commit fraud, by fooling people into thinking they are receiving instructions from a trusted individual.*
