Magix Managing Director, Kevin Wotshela.

This time, we’re diving deep into the world of deepfakes. If you’ve been hearing the buzz but aren’t quite sure what it’s all about, this is your chance to get the full scoop.” says Magix Managing Director, Kevin Wotshela. “Our experts have poured hours into understanding how these advanced digital manipulations are becoming a major cybersecurity threat, and we’re ready to share our findings with you.” Kevin adds.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll discover:

  • The Rise of Deepfakes: Discover how deepfakes have transitioned from being mere novelties to presenting serious cybersecurity concerns.
  • Real-World Impacts: Explore case studies from Hong Kong to South Africa that reveal the potential damage deepfakes can cause.
  • Protection Strategies: Learn practical steps to safeguard yourself and your business from digital deceptions and reduce exposure to deepfake attacks.

Why Deepfakes Matter?

Deepfakes are fake videos or audio recordings created using AI. They can mimic real people—like CEOs, politicians, or police officers—even when those individuals never said or did those things. Unfortunately, criminals are using deepfakes to scam people and businesses. These fakes are so realistic that even trained professionals are being fooled. They’re being used in scams, fake investment ads, political misinformation, and identity theft.

Reports indicate that biometric deepfakes, such as faces, fingerprints, or voices, are increasingly being used across Africa. Incidents involving individuals like Patrice Motsepe and companies like Luno are growing at an alarming rate. 

The need to understand and train for recognising deepfakes is becoming increasingly necessary as these attacks become more prevalent. Detecting flaws in deepfakes, performing additional verification steps, and investing in protective software are recommended mitigation strategies.

Deepfakes are no longer just a technical curiosity—they’re a growing threat.
