The Brinks Home breach revealed how voice phishing (vishing) exploits trust in voice communication to infiltrate corporate IT systems, targeting millions of records through OAuth abuse. Meanwhile, AI-driven voice calling features like Google's Duplex introduce a trust paradox by normalising automated voice interactions, potentially increasing the attack surface for similar exploits.
