Deepfake Visuals

Last reviewed: 2026-01-03

Deepfake visuals are AI-generated or manipulated images or videos that appear real. They can be used to create false identity proof, fake endorsements, or fabricated incidents. The risk is increased when visuals are combined with urgency and authority. SAF's approach is practical: avoid immediate compliance based on visuals; verify sources, confirm through official channels, and treat high-stakes requests as verification-required.
