AI-powered deepfake scams are fooling businesses by impersonating executives and manipulating employees. How can you verify a suspicious video or voice message?

🎙 Confirm through a secondary channel – Call the person directly using a known number.
🎞 Look for unnatural facial movements – Deepfake videos may have odd eye blinking or lip-sync issues.
🔊 Analyze voice cadence – AI-generated voices often lack natural pauses or emotional variation.
🔐 Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) – Even if a scammer gains access, MFA can stop unauthorized transactions.
