  • HONOR Tackles Rising Silent Call Threats in Malaysia with Enhanced AI-Powered Voice Scam Detection

    HONOR Tackles Rising Silent Call Threats in Malaysia with Enhanced AI-Powered Voice Scam Detection

    A rising scam call tactic known as the “silent call” is increasingly worrying Malaysians, as fraudsters leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to clone victims’ voices and impersonate people they know to demand money transfers. Authorities have urged the public to stay vigilant, especially when receiving calls where the caller remains silent for several seconds. Social media is filled with stories of Malaysians encountering these calls, highlighting the urgent need for protective measures. In response, HONOR is enhancing the Magic8 Pro with a new AI Voice Cloning Detection feature, designed to identify AI-generated voices. This feature will be available via a software update in late December 2025.

    The AI Voice Cloning Detection complements HONOR Magic8 Pro’s existing AI Deepfake Detection, analyzing calls for cloned or synthesized voices and notifying users when anomalies are detected. The necessity for such protection is evident: recent reports include a woman who lost RM5,000 after a voice clone of her employer deceived her, and a travel agent who fell victim to a call mimicking a friend, losing RM49,800. With this feature, users can answer unknown numbers with greater confidence and reduced anxiety.

    In addition, the Magic8 Pro will include AI Scam Number Detection, which cross-checks incoming calls against known scam databases and alerts users if a number is flagged as suspicious. This provides an extra layer of security, helping users avoid potential scams even before answering a call.

    Beyond calls, HONOR has upgraded its AI Deepfake Detection for video calls, now capable of screening up to eight people simultaneously to detect digitally altered faces. With deepfake-related fraud cases investigated by police numbering 454 last year, causing losses of RM2.72 million, these advanced features position the Magic8 Pro as a strong deterrent against AI-driven fraud nationwide.

    HONOR’s dedication to integrating privacy and security into its devices has earned global recognition. Its built-in deepfake detection technology received the TIME Best Inventions 2025 Award for Privacy and Security, underscoring the brand’s commitment to responsible AI innovation and ensuring users remain protected as digital threats evolve.
