What happened?

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting companies through AI-generated CEO fraud and manipulated video meetings. Insurance company Trygg-Hansa warns that the methods used by criminals are rapidly adapting to progress in artificial intelligence, including the use of synthetic voices and fake video calls to trick employees into transferring funds.

”AI-utvecklingen går snabbt och det gör även de kriminellas metoder.”

— Caroline Oldmark, ansvarig för cyberförsäkringar på Trygg-Hansa · Breakit

Why it matters

The frauds have become significantly harder to detect now that attackers no longer rely solely on email, but can mimic a manager's voice or appearance in real time. This places increased pressure on companies' internal control routines and manual payment approval processes.

Who is affected?

Corporate executives, financial controllers, and company employees are at risk of being targeted by manipulative calls and meetings. Cyber insurance companies are also being affected by the increased risks and insurance claims.

What else you should know

The technology for voice cloning and deepfakes has become more accessible and cheaper, making it easier for attackers to carry out sophisticated social engineering attacks against corporate organisations and finance departments.

Varför spelar det roll?
När angripare kan efterlikna chefers röster och utseenden i realtid räcker inte längre traditionell vaksamhet kring bluffmejl, vilket kräver striktare rutiner för ekonomiska transaktioner.

Främst företagsledningar, ekonomiavdelningar och anställda med attest- och betalningsrättigheter som utsätts för social engineering.
