The type of attack you're concerned with doesn't scale. The scammers would first have to collect your likeness to use to make the video or audio.
It _would_ work for the more targeted attacks. People will have to establish passphrases.
- Sander_Marechal 3y agoPassphrases probably don't work well with the target demographic that most needs it (elderly people). Maybe teach teach them to verify through another channel instead. I.e, hang up and call back at the number you usually use. That's what we just implemented at my company. If one of our CXO's (video) calls or writes to authorize a transfer of funds, then politely say you will, hang up, and call back the CXO in question at their regular number to verify.
- carlosjobim 3y agoYou could probably be visiting your grandparents and physically stand right in front of them when the scammers call and pretend to be you, and the grandparents would still believe the scammers more than they believed you. Elderly people have an eery respect and reverence for telephones and letters.
- bequanna 3y agoThis scam has been around far longer than deepfake audio/video. ~20 years ago my grandparents were close to sending money to someone claiming to be my cousin asking for bail to get out of jail.
