全球首例AI詐騙出現了，人工智能騙走CEO二十多萬
It’s the first noted instance of an artificial intelligence-generated voice deepfake used in a scam.
這是首個藉助人工智能的聲音深度造假被用於詐騙的著名案例。
Phone scams are nothing new, but the mark usually isn’t an accomplished CEO.
電話詐騙已經不新鮮了，但對象通常不會是資深的首席執行官。
According to a new report in The Wall Street Journal, the CEO of an unnamed UK-based energy firm believed he was on the phone with his boss, the chief executive of firm’s the German parent company, when he followed the orders to immediately transfer €220,000 (approx. $243,000) to the bank account of a Hungarian supplier.
《華爾街日報》一篇新報道稱，一家未透露名字的英國能源公司首席執行官以爲與他通電話的是他的老闆，即這家公司的德國-母公司的首席執行官，他按對方要求立刻給一個匈牙利供應商的銀行賬戶匯款22萬歐元（約合24.3萬美元）。
In fact, the voice belonged to a fraudster using AI voice technology to spoof the German chief executive. Rüdiger Kirsch of Euler Hermes Group SA, the firm’s insurance company, shared the information with WSJ. He explained that the CEO recognized the subtle German accent in his boss’s voice—and moreover that it carried the man’s “melody.”
其實是一個詐騙犯利用AI聲音技術冒充了德國首席執行官的聲音。該公司的保險公司Euler Hermes Group SA的Rüdiger Kirsch向《華爾街日報》透露了此事。他解釋說這位首席執行官聽出了老闆略帶德國口音的聲音，還有和老闆一樣的“腔調”。
According to Kirsch, the of yet unidentified fraudster called the company three times: the first to initiate the transfer, the second to falsely claim it had been reimbursed, and a third time seeking a followup payment.
Kirsch說這個身份不明的詐騙犯給公司打了三次電話：第一次是通知轉賬，第二次謊稱可以報銷，第三次要求後續付款。
It was at this point that the victim grew skeptical; he could see that the purported reimbursement had not gone through, and he noticed that the the call had been made from an Austrian phone number.
這時受害者才起疑心，他發現所謂的報銷沒有被批准，還注意到電話是從澳大利亞打來的。
While he did not send a second payment, the first had already transferred, which was moved from the Hungarian bank account to one in Mexico, and then disbursed to other locations.
雖然他沒有繼續匯款，但第一筆錢已經轉過去了，從一個匈牙利銀行賬戶轉到了墨西哥銀行賬戶，然後又被轉到了其他地點。
