Cybercriminals are skipping the office and going straight for the homes of your leadership. They’re not just phishing anymore – they’re deepfaking. Executives and key personnel are being impersonated using synthetic voice and video to initiate fraudulent transfers, authorize access, and compromise entire organizations.
The line between personal and professional is gone. And that’s exactly where attackers are striking.
Executives are vulnerable because their personal environments are outside corporate protections. Home Wi-Fi, smart doorbells, personal assistants, and even children’s devices become stepping stones to enterprise data. In 2025 alone, over 40% of executives reported being directly targeted via deepfakes. Many of these incidents leveraged personal data harvested from social media, breached data dumps, and unsecured home tech.
Worse – only half of organizations offer any training to executives on identifying or responding to these types of scams. When a fake video call mimics your CFO’s voice perfectly and demands an urgent wire transfer, your instincts – not your inbox – determine the outcome.
That’s why your executive perimeter must be treated as a critical attack surface.
What can be done?
- Monitor home networks and devices for anomalies.
- Run simulation drills with execs and families to identify gaps.
- Establish executive protection playbooks including home-based incident response.
- Reduce personal data exposure and apply AI-driven monitoring tools.
