People are not always receptive to their voice data being collected and misused. Training the audio intelligence systems needs these data to build useful features, but the cost for getting permissions or purchasing data is very high, which inevitably encourages hackers to collect these voice data without people's awareness. To discourage the hackers from proactively collecting people's voice data, we are the first to propose a clean-label poisoning attack, called WaveFuzz, which can prevent intelligence audio models from building useful features from protected (poisoned) voice data but still preserve the semantic information to the humans. Specifically, WaveFuzz perturbs the voice data to cause Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) (typical representations of audio signals) to generate the poisoned frequency features. These poisoned features are then fed to audio prediction models, which degrades the performance of audio intelligence systems. Empirically, we show the efficacy of WaveFuzz by attacking two representative types of intelligent audio systems, i.e., speaker recognition system (SR) and speech command recognition system (SCR). For example, the accuracies of models are declined by $19.78\%$ when only $10\%$ of the poisoned voice data is to fine-tune models, and the accuracies of models declined by $6.07\%$ when only $10\%$ of the training voice data is poisoned. Consequently, WaveFuzz is an effective technique that enables people to fight back to protect their own voice data, which sheds new light on ameliorating privacy issues. |
