Episode details

Seeing isn’t believing anymore

Deepfakes started as a novelty but are quickly developing into a serious cybersecurity threat. With generative AI tools more accessible than ever, attackers can create near-flawless fake identities—whether through video, voice, or even real-time manipulation during live meetings.

As far back as 2019, a company was extorted out of 200,000 euros by threat actors using a deepfaked voice of the CEO. Six years down the line, the technology behind these threats has only gotten more advanced.

In this deep dive episode of Threat Talks, host Rob Maas is joined by ON2IT SOC Analyst Yuri Wit as they discuss the rising threat of deepfakes. From financial fraud to identity manipulation, deepfakes are changing the landscape of cyber threats.
