Purportedly, a firm in Hong Kong recently fell victim to a massive fraud, losing more than 25 million US dollars. How did it happen?

The elaborate scam saw the worker duped into attending a video call with what he thought were several other members of staff, but all of whom were in fact deepfake recreations, Hong Kong police said at a briefing on Friday.

Some poor worker in Hong Kong got on a multi-person video call where they were the only one on the call who wasn’t a deepfake, and then they got tricked into sending tens of millions of dollars where it didn’t belong. The future is a nightmare.
