Deepfake video hacking attempts are expected in Ireland within six months, according to cybersecurity experts.
Scam video calls represent one of the newest threats to organisations’ data and the issue came to prominence after a high profile case in Hong Kong earlier this month.
In the widely reported incident, an employee was duped into joining a video call which they thought included a number of colleagues, but which were actually fake recreations.
