Three people have been indicted in New York for using AI to impersonate corporate executives and attorneys and steal about $129 million. Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan and Guy Sheetrit targeted thousands of companies over more than a year and a half. They emailed accounting departments posing as the CEO, then used AI-mimicked voice and sometimes image on calls. They face wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering charges.
