The CEO's voice asks for an urgent transfer

The group financial controller takes a call from what sounds exactly like the CEO, who is travelling. He says a confidential acquisition must close today, the lawyers will email instructions, and nobody else can know yet. Minutes later an email arrives from an outside law firm with wire details for €1.9 million and a signed letter of intent. The controller is uneasy and calls the CEO's mobile, which goes to voicemail. A voice note then arrives from an unknown number, in the CEO's voice, repeating the request. The bank cut-off is in 45 minutes. What should happen?

A deepfake video call of your CEO authorises a $2.4 million payment

On Monday a finance manager joined a video call with what looked and sounded like your CEO and CFO, plus an "external lawyer". They explained a confidential acquisition and asked for three urgent payments to an escrow account, totalling $2.4 million. The manager made the payments after a follow-up email from the CEO's real address, sent through a compromised mail rule. Today the real CEO asks why finance moved money on a deal that does not exist. Your bank says the first transfer has left the receiving bank. The finance manager is distraught.

Your brand’s social account starts promoting a crypto scam

At 19:45 on a Friday your company’s main social media account, with 450,000 followers, posts a video of your CEO announcing a giveaway: send cryptocurrency and receive double back. The video is a deepfake. Three more posts follow in ten minutes, and replies show customers who have already sent money. The social media manager is locked out because the account’s email and phone number have been changed. Nobody else knows who holds the recovery codes. The platform’s support form promises a reply within 48 hours. What do you do now?

A deepfake of your election official circulates two days before polling

Two days before a municipal election, a 40-second audio clip spreads on social media. It sounds like your county's chief election official telling a colleague that ballots from two precincts 'will be handled differently this year'. A second post, styled like your website, says three polling places have moved. Your official never said this, and nothing has moved. By noon the clip has 300,000 plays, your phone lines are jammed, and a candidate is demanding an explanation. Your public results website is also seeing unusual traffic. How do you respond without amplifying the fake?
