Context

Documented deepfake fraud losses have reached ~$25M in a single case (Hong Kong video-call impersonation). 'Verified' means an authoritative record: victim's SEC filing/annual report, official law-enforcement/court record, or DOJ press release. Aggregate losses across many victims do not count. 'Attempted loss' without confirmed loss does not count.
