This Huntress article analyzes deepfake-enabled social engineering scams, using a viral clip to show how real-time AI face overlays can be used in impersonation fraud. It warns that simple live-detection tricks (like the "three-finger" test) are temporary as attackers quickly adopt improved models, documents organized call-center economies that generate significant revenue from these scams, and recommends embedding verification processes (call-backs, two-person approvals, out-of-band confirmation) to mitigate identity-based wire fraud.
