AI deepfake scams are rapidly becoming one of the most dangerous cybersecurity threats in the world.

Some of the “security advice” people are sharing—like using a safe word—may actually make you more vulnerable. Dr. Cole breaks down how these scams really work, why families and the elderly are the biggest targets, and the simple verification techniques that can stop a deepfake attack before it succeeds.
