About: "Bitdefender [Wikipedia] has launched a bold awareness campaign called 'They Wear Our Faces' [trade magazine] to shine light on how AI-driven fraud is evolving, and how it's turning trust into a weapon. Scammers are now cloning voices, mimicking faces, and impersonating loved ones to exploit emotional bonds and urgency. What once required complex tools and large teams can now be done quickly and cheaply thanks to AI, making scams more frequent, sophisticated, and persuasive" (2026).
