Stopping Deepfake Threats Through Identity Verification

In this episode, Aaron Painter, CEO at Nametag, joins me in discussing the Deepfake fraud phenomenon and how organizations and individuals should protect themselves from such scams. A recent study conducted by finance software provider Medius finds that over 53% of businesses in the U.S. and U.K. have been targets of financial scams powered by “deepfake” technology, with 43% falling victim to such attacks. 85% of the finance professionals polled view such scams as an “existential” threat to their organization’s financial security. In the United States, families lose an average of $11,000 in each fake kidnapping scam. According to data from the Federal Trade Commission, Americans lost $2.6 billion last year in imposter scams.
