Automatically Detecting Voice Phishing: A Large Audio Model Approach

Abstract

Voice phishing (vishing) attacks represent a growing threat in cybersecurity, with attackers increasingly using sophisticated audio manipulation techniques to deceive victims. This paper presents a novel approach to automatically detecting voice phishing attacks using large audio models. We develop a comprehensive framework that leverages advanced audio processing techniques and machine learning to identify malicious voice communications in real-time.

Our approach combines multiple audio analysis techniques including:

  • Audio Feature Extraction: Advanced signal processing to extract relevant features from voice communications
  • Large Audio Model Integration: Leveraging state-of-the-art audio models for pattern recognition
  • Real-time Detection: Implementation of efficient algorithms for live voice analysis
  • Adversarial Robustness: Techniques to handle sophisticated audio manipulation attempts

The framework demonstrates significant improvements in detection accuracy compared to existing methods, achieving high precision and recall rates while maintaining low false positive rates. Our research contributes to the growing body of work on AI-enabled cybersecurity and provides practical solutions for protecting against voice-based social engineering attacks.
