One voice. One video. One fake CFO.
A finance professional in Hong Kong joined a video call with his CFO and colleagues based in London, UK. His CFO told him to transfer $25 million to a specific bank account.
Their faces and voices seemed real. But they weren’t. It was a fully deepfaked meeting - every participant was AI-generated. After he transferred the money, he realized that he was fooled. But the money was gone.
This incident happened in 2024. And it’s precisely why every team - from finance to operations to HR - needs to rethink how they verify trust in a GenAI-powered world.
Quick Takeaways
- GenAI can replicate trusted voices and faces perfectly in many professional contexts.
- Organizations must add Responsible AI literacy training to their cybersecurity training.
- If it looks or sounds right, don’t assume it’s real. Always verify through a second trusted channel.
