Definition of deepfakes

Deepfakes are digitally generated or altered images, videos, or audio that convincingly imitate real people. Using AI, attackers can create fake messages that appear to come from trusted individuals such as executives or colleagues. Deepfakes are increasingly used in fraud and social engineering because they exploit trust, authority, and urgency.
