Retool Breached After Hacker Uses AI Deepfake Voice in Phishing Call

A hacker used AI to deepfake an employee's voice and trick a Retool staff member into providing a multi-factor authentication code. The attacker sent phishing SMS messages and then called the employee, impersonating an IT team member with a synthetic voice. This allowed the hacker to add their own device to the employee's account and access internal systems, compromising 27 cloud customers. Retool revoked the access and disclosed the incident, blaming a weakness in Google Authenticator's cloud sync feature.
