Deepfake Threats Are Front + Center on CBS Mornings

Pindrop was recently featured on CBS Mornings, showcasing how the rise of synthetic media is transforming the landscape of fraud and how we’re helping organizations fight back.

Synthetic voices. Altered faces. Real risks.

In a segment with correspondent Kelly O’Grady, we demonstrated just how sophisticated and accessible deepfake technology has become and how attackers are already using it to infiltrate high-stakes virtual meetings.

From voice impersonation to live face swaps, synthetic threats are evolving fast and eroding trust in every interaction. Maintain integrity in your virtual meetings with tools that detect deepfakes quickly.

AI voice + video makes way for fake job applicants

This wasn’t just a discussion. We showed deepfake technology in action:

Real-time face swap in a live Zoom meeting

Using publicly available software, we transformed Kelly O’Grady’s face in real time on a Zoom call, simulating how attackers can impersonate executives or colleagues to scam individuals and organizations.

AI voice clone with live dialogue

Next, we used a tool to create a synthetic voice clone of Kelly capable of holding a dynamic conversation, not just repeating pre-recorded lines. This is eerily similar to how fraudsters are now tricking teams into transferring funds or disclosing sensitive info.

Deepfake job applicants

Pindrop has uncovered real-world cases where fraudsters used synthetic audio and video to impersonate candidates during job interviews.

These aren’t future risks. They’re active threats, already live in meetings like yours.
