A group of attackers stole more than $129 million from companies in the United States and Europe, using artificial intelligence to falsify executive votes, the New York Times writes. According to the US Attorney's Office, over the course of 18 months, the fraudsters used deep audio and video spoofing to convince employees of several organizations, including banks and hospitals, to make urgent transfers to fake accounts. Three suspects were arrested in the UK and Spain and are awaiting extradition to the US on charges of fraud and money laundering.
