Voiceprinting as an identification for wealthy bank clients grew popular more than a decade ago, with customers typically asked to utter a challenge phrase into the phone to access their accounts.

ha, I thought it was just a movie trope

sometimes it feels like banks will use literally anything but recommended practices for multi-factor authentication

Says the dipshit making the tools to commit fraud easier than ever.

My bank uses that and personal info, and I have to be calling from a registered number.

This moron is trying to drum up financial panic so he can hawk his stupid human verification device. The Sphere I think ? Or the Orb ? Whatever. It's a fucking camera.

Well well well… if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…

Spoofing cell phone numbers is so easy a literal toddler can do it.

Yeah this guy wants to sell ai security dongles real bad

But can you do it detectably? Because that’s just as easy. This isn’t 95

Even ISPs do this where I am. You don't have to utter anything specifically but if they detect your voice being drastically different from what they have on file, they'll lock you out before you even talk to a real person. Not sure how I feel about it tbh

I am guessing they were trying to explain how a large number of banks are using the company PinDrop Security and did a really bad job of it.

I wish. My bank has been trying to get me to do that shit for years when I call in.

"YoUr VoIcE iS yOuR pAsSwOrD" - no, my fucking password is my password, and this voice print shit was an obvious security hole from day 1, which is why I always answered that I didn't consent to their bullshit.

what the hell does an ISP want with that, that's nuts

When I was complaining about the 10 pieces of paper, each needing a signature and a stamp, just to close one of my bank accounts, the clerk has informed me that some of their procedures has switched to an electronic signature instead. I was pumped! Until he finished the rest of the sentence. By the electronic signature he meant the squigly line, just on a touchscreen.

Some people strive to achieve the pure zen. At that moment I've achieved pure cringe instead.

It's strange though, because that same bank has an excellent API and batch processing available.

I guess it's mostly for their cell services to avoid SIM jacking and stuff. But I agree

I followed a different post and replaced AI with cocaine, and it still works in this context.

Does anyone by chance have tips for someone wanting to sound like Mark Hamil Joker via AI? No particular reason...

plug in AI security device

"Initializing security sweep."

"Security scan finished. All databases wiped clean."

I find it really fascinating, how these people think everything is a complete non-issue, unless money is involved. The society can fuck itself, but if their bank account is at risk, then it's scorched earth time

It is going to be a monkeys paw for the fools who use it.
