What are deepfake email threats?
Current deepfake threats: AI-generated executive voice messages attached to BEC emails, making fraudulent requests more convincing. Text deepfakes create personalized, contextually appropriate phishing content.
Emerging risks: video messages from spoofed executives, real-time voice deepfakes in phone follow-ups to phishing emails, and AI maintaining convincing conversation threads.
Defense evolution: verification procedures become more important as synthetic content becomes indistinguishable from authentic. Technical authentication and out-of-band verification protect against convincing fakes.
