The time has come for us to make passwords for identifying each other…

Right now deepfakes doesn’t work well when the face is viewed from extreme angles, so you can ask them to slowly turn their face to the side or up/down as far as they can until the face is not visible. It also doesn’t work well when something obstruct the face, so ask them to put their hand in their face. It also can’t seem to render mouth right if you open it too wide, or stick out your tongue.

But as the tech improves, it might be able to handle those cases in the future.

or, you know, you can just pickup the phone and call them.

I had this attack tried on me. It was a video call from my friend’s Facebook account. If I didn’t know enough to be suspicious, I wouldn’t have answered. Luckily I have that friend on Signal, so I knew they wouldn’t have called me on Facebook asking for money. I tried calling on Signal, but they didn’t answer. They must’ve not had their phone on them. Calling their home phone worked, though, which is kind of a weird thought.
Their phone was probably offline at the moment.
Nah, they just leave it in another room sometimes and don’t care if they miss a call or notification.
