Deepfake video conference convinces employee to send $25M to scammers

A deepfake phishing scam cost a multinational company more than $25 million after an employee was fooled by digital imitations of his colleagues on a conference call. Hong Kong police said at a press conference Friday that the employee at the unnamed firm’s Hong Kong branch initially suspected phishing when he received an email last month purporting to be from the company’s UK-based chief financial officer, CNN reported.
