Not only organisations, but everyone really. The eldery are already massively targeted by scammers. Now, on top of that, scammers can find a child or grandchild voice sample on some social media and use that to ask for money over the phone. Or even via video call with deep fakes. And they can do that at scale.
You don't even need social media. Call person A and keep them on the phone for 15 seconds to get a snippet of their voice. Feed through AI, use that to call person B and extort them or whatever crime you were planning on.
