See how geometric math exposes the seam in live deepfake scams For developers building computer vision (CV) pipelines, the headline-grabbing $25.6M deepfake heist at Arup isn't just a cautionary tale about social engineering - it is a massive failure of liveness detection and identity verification heuristics. As real-time generative adversarial networks (GANs) and sophisticated face-swap models become accessible, the technical community is facing a "trust crisis" at the pixel level.
