Zoho's Vembu urges 'verbal passwords' to beat AI voice scams

Zoho Chief Scientist Sridhar Vembu has advised families to use pre-agreed 'verbal passwords' to verify callers amid rising AI voice scams. His warning came after an X user reported receiving a call from someone mimicking his wife's voice, asking for credit card details. Vembu cautioned that AI voices are now too convincing to distinguish from real ones.
