voice spoofing

Voice spoofing is when someone creates a fake or manipulated version of a person's voice to deceive others. This can be done using technology called voice synthesis or voice conversion, which imitates or alters a voice to sound like the real person. The goal might be to gain unauthorized access to accounts, spread misinformation, or commit fraud. Just like forgery in writing, voice spoofing tricks systems or people into believing the fake voice is genuine, posing security and trust risks. It highlights the importance of advanced measures to verify authentic voices in communication and security systems.
