Deepfake AI – Protect against it with MFA
Protecting Against Deepfakes AI technology is advancing rapidly, particularly in creating deepfake videos and audio. With just a snippet of speech and some video footage, anyone can become a target for deepfake phishing attempts. Just like traditional phishing, criminals are constantly finding new ways to deceive us. For example, a multinational company lost $25 million
