It is interesting how easy this has got with a popular service like Prime Voice AI, and when you realise that many use voice recognition for authenticated access to systems, we can see where the risks come in. Like most technology, there are lots of positive upsides, but it always opens up the negatives as well. As Steve points out in his commentary in the linked article, the bad actors are often quicker than anyone else nowadays to take advantage of these new developments.

No end in sight for the upward trajectory of careers in security and vulnerability consultants.

The call centre one's most certainly are - by registering my voice, I can bypass the normal sending an SMS to authenticate before an agent helps me. My own medical insurance offers that to speed up the process of manual verification. It is certainly voice authentication.
