We actually did a joint webinar with an FBI Cyber Analyst a few months back. He talked alot about deepfake videos, but not audio. These guys are getting good!

I can't believe they would transfer that kind of money based on incoming phone call and emails. Great example of trust with a failure to verify. A simple call to a known good phone number should have prevented this.

Fakes are only going to get better.

Thanks, interesting article. Deepfake stuff is becoming quite worrying.

On a side note, I spent ages going through the convoluted cookies policies for the Forbes website, one of the worst I have ever seen - truly disgusting. I don't know how they get away with it.
