The CEO on your Zoom call might not be real
I just read about a finance director who authorized a $500k transfer after a Zoom call with his bosses. Turns out, every single person on that call was a deepfake. Let that sink in for a second.
Scammers in 2026 are using real-time face-swapping that’s almost indistinguishable from reality. Even the voice cadence and “ums” are perfect. If your boss asks for an urgent wire transfer, maybe call their personal cell first.
We’re entering an era where seeing isn’t believing anymore. It’s a bit terrifying, isn’t it?
Alex’s Take
No tech is safe if the human on the other end is too trusting. My rule? If it involves money and “urgency,” it’s probably a bait. Double-check everything.
