Weaponized deepfakes

# Deepfakes Are Now a Real Threat to You Deepfakes—convincing fake videos or audio of real people saying things they never said—are becoming easier and cheaper to create, and bad actors are already using them for fraud, blackmail, and spreading false information. What experts warned about for years is finally happening: anyone with a computer can now generate a fake video of your boss, a politician, or even you, making it hard to know what's real. You should assume that video or audio "evidence" online could be fake and verify important information through official sources before believing or sharing it.
