How To Spot Deepfakes (And What To Do About Them)
Deepfake video and audio scams are now common enough that every small business needs to know about them. Here is a practical guide to spotting them and defending against them.
What Deepfakes Are And How They Are Used
A deepfake is AI-generated audio, video, or imagery that mimics a real person. Used maliciously, deepfakes appear in scams — most commonly impersonating an executive on a phone call to authorize a wire transfer, or fake video calls in business meetings. The technology is now cheap and accessible.
