— A cunning AI-driven phone scam has targeted top Italian business leaders, including Giorgio Armani and Patrizio Bertelli. Scammers used advanced technology to clone the voice of Italy’s defense minister, Guido Crosetto. They pretended to need funds for freeing kidnapped journalists in the Middle East.
