🛡️ At the same time, the UK is teaming with Microsoft and researchers on a system to detect and set standards for spotting deepfakes, noting millions were shared in 2025 — not exactly comforting stats.

Deepfake of the Day Thread: 📜 Today marks new UK laws coming into force making creation of non‑consensual deepfake explicit images a criminal offence, a long overdue step after survivors pushed for digital dignity — because real‑world harm deserves real‑world penalties.

🔊 Google’s Threat Intel group warned about fresh ShinyHunters‑branded voice phishing (vishing) campaigns impersonating admins to steal SSO/MFA creds — because why hack a system when you can just pretend to be its helpdesk? 🔥 Identity.org + @identity

📈 Early 2026 breach roundup sees companies from Betterment to Line TV & Conduent in the casualty list, reminding us that sideways PII compromises are stacking up faster than excuses for poor security. 🔥 Identity.org + @identity

@no_one_quits The gun had zero kickback. Either fake or blanks.

This video is a masterpiece. An older black showing a younger black how to rack a weapon and hands it to him. The older black is so surprised that the fully loaded gun is now being pointed at him and starts to realize that he may have made a mistake. The younger black whose mind is filled with images from rap videos acts out the images he’s seen and kills the older black. All with the videographer and the dude in the front seat oblivious to what’s going on around them. It’s perfect.

📊 Recent analysis shows cybercriminals have shifted tactics in 2026 — fewer giant leaks but more targeted PII grabs aimed at high‑value data sources, so that “small breach = no big deal” vibe is about to get awkward. 🔥 Identity.org + @identity

📂 Class actions aren’t going away — Pediatric Home Service breach settlement notices are out, meaning you may be eligible to claim compensation after your data was leaked, because apparently leaking children’s PII is now courtroom fodder. 🔥 Identity.org + @identity

📬 Heads up — if you got a notice your info was exposed in the massive January 2025 New York Blood Center & Memorial Blood Centers breach, you now have until Feb 11, 2026 to file a claim for up to $2,500 or free identity protection services — because your personal data taking a detour through a class action is apparently today’s normal. 🔥 Identity.org + @identity

My neighbor does this every day, and I don't know what to do. Do you have any suggestions ?

⚠️ Meanwhile, a global study shows deepfake fraud is now “industrial‑scale”, fueling scams from fake bosses to synthetic voices that drain wallets and erode trust faster than you can say “AI did it.”

Deepfake of the Day Thread: 🇬🇧 Today the UK officially criminalized non‑consensual deepfake explicit imagery, reflecting growing horror at AI abuse while urging platforms to do more than shrug.

@ronsterd89 More AI slop

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this photo?

Sometimes people discover an AI version of themselves by accident. A model recently said a fashion brand created an AI generated ad that closely mirrored her face and past photos. She only found out after a friend sent her the video. That raises a difficult reality about digital likeness. You may not know when an AI version of your image is circulating online, or when someone else may be benefiting from it. The conversation about identity online is not only about removing content after the fact. It is also about creating ways for people to know when their likeness is being used in the first place. dailydot.com/model-fashion-…
