Three men, Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan, and Guy Sheetrit, have been indicted for using AI to impersonate corporate executives and attorneys, resulting in the theft of over $129 million from various companies worldwide. The alleged fraud took place between 2024 and 2026, with the men targeting employees to convince them to send large payments. They used AI to alter their voices and images to mimic executives and attorneys, directing victims to wire money to accounts controlled by the conspirators. The stolen funds were then converted into cryptocurrency to hide their origins. Victims included hospital systems, banks, and a financial technology company. Soall, Hazan, and Sheetrit face charges of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering.
