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.
