Deepfake Internal Communications Targeting Employees 4
The Threat Criminals impersonate district managers, IT support, or warehouse supervisors to request emergency password resets, shipment changes, or credential sharing. Why It Works Retail stores are fast-paced and hierarchical, so people react quickly to “urgent” leadership requests. Business Impact Account compromise, supply-chain theft, and internal system breaches. What You Can Do Establish a zero-trust rule for voice-only employee instructions. Require employees to confirm sensitive requests through an approved internal channel (Slack/Teams/email). Create a simple authentication phrase or internal callback number for high-risk instructions.
