@dailymail: An Italian bank was tricked into transferring $108 million after scammers used AI to impersonate senior executives and a lawyer, according to Reuters. The scheme began with a WhatsApp message appearing to come from Intesa Sanpaolo's CEO, followed by a phone call from a supposed senior law-firm partner whose voice had been recreated using AI. The money was sent mainly to accounts in China and Hong Kong. Around $60 million has since been recovered, but roughly $41 million remains missing after being moved through overseas accounts and converted into cryptocurrency. #italy #AI #scam #news #money
