They will scatter their region with religion and ethnic bigotry. Even refused to educate their children, but they want us to accommodate those monsters down south. Abegii they all need visa to come here

The voice impersonation is just one part of the puzzle ,what about the fact that the Boss line was been cloned to call him...Sometimes I think this electronic fraud are been master minded by powerful cartels with global reach.You won't understand until you are a victim.

Your point slaps

40mw chimoooooo

Restructure this country and let every region generate its own electricity and see if we won't have steady power. Power will bring investors. A state like Imo State alone is capable of generating 4000mw with its gas reserve. We know what to do but it must be business as usual.

Abaribe has our support. He's an actual leader.

But we have IDPs scattered all over the north. They too need relief materials. Are we not supposed to wipe out the tears from our eyes first

A new kind of cybercrime uses AI and your voice against you

It’s easy enough to forge a signature for fraudulent purposes. However, until recently, some things—like our voices—have been distinctive and difficult to mimic. Not so in our brave new world.

A new kind of cybercrime that uses artificial intelligence and voice technology is one of the unfortunate developments of postmodernity. You can’t trust what you see, as deep fake videos have shown, or what you hear, it seems. A $243,000 voice fraud case, reported by the Wall Street Journal, proves it.

In March, fraudsters used AI-based software to impersonate a chief executive from the German parent company of an unnamed UK-based energy firm, tricking his underling, the energy CEO, into making an allegedly urgent large monetary transfer by calling him on the phone. The CEO made the requested transfer to a Hungarian supplier and was contacted again with assurances that the transfer was being reimbursed immediately. That too seemed believable.

However, when the reimbursement funds had yet to appear in accounts and a third call came from Austria, with the caller again alleging to be the parent company’s chief executive requesting another urgent transfer, the CEO became suspicious. Despite recognizing what seemed to be his boss’s voice, the CEO declined to make the transfer, realizing something was amiss.

Although the CEO recognized the familiar accent and intonations of the chief executive, it turns out that the boss wasn’t making the call. The funds he transferred to Hungary were subsequently moved to Mexico and other locations and authorities have yet to pinpoint any suspects.

Rüdiger Kirsch, a fraud expert at insurer Euler Hermes, which covered the victim company’s claim, tells the Journal that the insurance company has never previously dealt with claims stemming from losses due to AI-related crimes. He says the police investigation into the affair is over and indicates that hackers used commercial voice-generating software to carry out the attack, noting that he tested one such product and found the reproduced version of his voice sounded real to him.

Certainly, law enforcement authorities and AI experts are aware of voice technology’s burgeoning capabilities, and the high likelihood that AI is poised to be the new frontier for fraud. Last year, Pindrop, a company that creates security software and protocols for call centers, reported a 350% rise in voice fraud between 2013 and 2017, primarily to credit unions, banks, insurers, brokerages, and card issuers.

By pretending to be someone else on the phone, a voice fraudster can access private information that wouldn’t otherwise be available and can be used for nefarious purposes. The ability to feign another’s identity with voice is easier than ever with new audio tools and increased reliance on call centers that offer services (as opposed to going to the bank and talking to a teller face-to-face, say). As the tools to create fakes improve, the chances of criminals using AI-based voice tech to mimic our voices and use them against us are heightened.

North will never support regional or state policing. We will so limit their movement down south. Y'all will raise animals as human beings and expect us down south to accommodate them. Oya na

Bravo

We have people from Niger republic, Mali, Chad riding Okada allover naija just because they can speak Hausa or fulani and more worrisome because Nigeria does not have a central database to determine who is a citizen and who is not.

We've been hearing news on how foreigners are causing mayhem all over the middlebelt region. We don't want that down south. People want to sound political correct until chaos starts in their neighborhood.

We have a porous border and we can't let unverified/undocumented people move around our neighborhood. Most, if not all the bike riders sleep on their bikes at night or at empty shops. Having too many of them around doesn't seem safe to me. E no dey hard for terrorism to spread ọ.

cooooooks:
How are Tunde, Ayomide and Femi IPOB

He was actually being sarcastic. The guy na Igbo guy lol

Useless president. When world leaders were gathered discussing trade deals he was nowhere to be found, instead the clueless one went to Japan to chill, yet Ghana still stole Toyota assembling plant deal right under his nose. Who in their right mind will wanna invest in an unsafe country that is not even business friendly.

NIGERIANS DESERVE EXACTLY WHAT THEY GET?

Someone with a British passport. Happy extradition

Lol! Just those you mentioned?

Alot of terrible people on nairaland will be shouting xenophobia, but they are the ones championing TRIBALISM here. y'all are attacking your own in your own country, put your house in order.

Rohr will still play musa ighalo onuachu and Co despite seeing the performance of other attackers across Europe
