It’s the first noted instance of an artificial intelligence-generated voice deepfake used in a scam.
Phone scams are nothing new, but the mark usually isn’t an accomplished CEO.
According to a new report in The Wall Street Journal, the CEO of an unnamed UK-based energy firm believed he was on the phone with his boss, the chief executive of firm’s the German parent company, when he followed the orders to immediately transfer €220,000 (approx. $243,000) to the bank account of a Hungarian supplier.

I have what many have called a good phone voice, it stood me well in various roles where dominance and confidence etc. are important. Soon however that edge will be gone, any Nigerian etc. running a scam can sound just right to their elderly victims. Ok, there will be some errors in use of language but..
Kidnappings could be faked, interesting times.
