Anyone can pretend to be anyone else online with the right tools. From spoofing websites to creating images on non-existent people to interactive videos to deepfakes, we will show the ways people (and in particular scammers) abuse technology old and new to trick people into thinking they're another person as well as the ways to spot them. The presentation will have practical demonstrations of the software and methods used to perpetrate these cons where possible.
