Deepfake Technology Fuels New Cyber Threats

Deepfake technology is fueling new cyber threats as attackers use AI-generated audio and video to impersonate executives, launch fraud schemes, and manipulate public opinion. These synthetic media attacks are increasingly difficult to detect, enabling more convincing social engineering campaigns. Security teams are evaluating deepfake detection tools and implementing multi-layer verification processes to confirm voice or video requests. Public awareness remains essential, as deepfake misuse is expected to expand across corporate and political environments.
