AI threat detail
Deepfake Identity
Synthetic video can imitate a person’s face, voice, and gestures to create false trust.
What it is
A deepfake identity attack uses AI-generated video or images to impersonate someone real.
Why it is dangerous
People tend to trust faces. A believable video can push victims into sharing private data or approving payments.
Simple example
A fake video of a club leader asks members to send registration fees to a new account.
