Scammers are using people’s social media profiles to source information to generate fake voice messages and phone calls.   

“Imagine you’re a teenager on TikTok or Instagram, just all that talking, all those little clips. If that’s public, they can be saved, they can be created and a new voice can be emulated.

“We will get to a point within a very short amount of time, within years, where we have to question every video, photo and audio grab because there’s no guarantee it won’t be computer generated.” said Long.
