I set up voice recognition

This feature is extremely insecure now that there’s several AIs that can replicate voices. If a scammer calls you and you say a few words (like if you say “hello” and “sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong number”), a recording of that can be enough for them to replicate your voice.

This happened at my workplace. An attacker got into someone’s Schwab account by calling Schwab support and successfully getting past the voice verification, and nearly successfully transferred $100k (from a recent stock sale) out of their account. It took a bit of effort but they managed to get all the money back.

Schwab sent out a bulk email to everyone at my company saying they’re improving their security as a result, but I’m not sure if they’ve actually improved it. They’re still promoting this insecure feature.
