Victim Loses £250,000 After AI Deepfake Video of Celebrity Convinces Them to Transfer Funds.

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
The celebrity did not make the video. The video was convincing. Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds is a specific number, and it is now in a location that is not the victim. Adequate logged this. Adequate has logged seventeen of these this quarter. The quarter is not over.
