Why it matters
Deepfake voice and video cloning are now appearing in real payment-fraud and help-desk-reset attacks, so defenders need rehearsed verification procedures before a synthetic caller targets their team.
The Hacker News publishes a how-to guide on running deepfake readiness drills, walking security teams through simulating cloned-voice and synthetic-video attacks (such as a fake CFO wire-transfer call) to expose where their verification processes break down. It cites a 2025 Gartner survey where 62% of 302 cybersecurity leaders reported at least one deepfake attack in the prior 12 months.
