What happened
US prosecutors have unsealed an indictment against Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan and Guy Sheetrit, who allegedly used AI to alter and impersonate the voices and images of executives and attorneys at various companies. Soall and Hazan were arrested in Spain over the summer and Sheetrit in the United Kingdom in September, with the scheme alleged to have stolen over $100m between 2024 and 2026. The case shows that deepfake voice and video can be used to authorise payments in business fraud.
