Protecting against AI-powered threats

10 October 2025

AI can be a powerful tool – but it also creates new threats.

One of the biggest threats are deepfakes - fake videos, audio, or images made using AI that can impersonate people you know to trick you into taking harmful actions.

Here’s how to stay protected:

Think before you trust

  • Always confirm the origin of videos or messages, especially if they seem urgent or unusual
  • Look for unnatural facial movements, mismatched lighting, or a robotic voice

Cross-check

  • Use a trusted contact method to cross-check whether voice messages or videos are real, especially if asking you to transfer funds or share credentials

Keep updated

  • Update security software and email filters regularly

Report

  • If something feels wrong, report it to your security team immediately.
