In Plain Terms

This is a classroom teaching case about a fictional company whose finance officer is tricked into a video call where the “CFO” is actually an AI-generated deepfake of his face and voice. Students use the scenario to spot where the company’s identity and approval checks broke down and to design controls that could catch such scams. It is meant for cybersecurity and information-systems courses as a hands-on exercise in defending against AI-driven fraud.
