Silicon Valley has created the impression of the archetypal technology company as founded by smart, young guns in a garage who tinker around to find a product that can make them, and their investors, a fortune. When things fail to work out, it is often down to the fact their creation failed to address a real-world problem.

Image: Unsplash Phone scammers have achieved an unwelcome breakthrough, combining traditional phishing websites with real-time voice manipulation in ways that bypass even the strongest security measures. While most people worry about suspicious emails, cybercriminals spent recent months quietly perfecting a far more personal and convincing approach.
