How Ferrari Dodged a Deepfake Scam – And What Your Business Can Learn
🔐 Ferrari Foils Deepfake Scam with One Question
In July 2024, a Ferrari executive received WhatsApp messages that appeared to be from CEO Benedetto Vigna, discussing a confidential acquisition and urging immediate action.
Despite the convincing nature of the messages, the executive grew suspicious due to the unfamiliar number and slight inconsistencies in the tone of the voice during a follow-up call.
Sensing that something was amiss, the executive asked the caller a question that only Vigna would know the answer to – the title of a book Vigna had recommended days earlier. Unable to answer the question, the scammer abruptly ended the call.
