Turns out even the NFL is worried about deepfakes

Summary: The NFL's chief information security officer, Tomás Maldonado, told Dark Reading he is worried that attackers could use deepfakes of popular NFL players for scams and spam, and Talos is named as a security partner helping protect events like the NFL Draft and Super Bowl. The newsletter notes deepfakes have already appeared in the NFL sphere, including AI voices of former Raiders owner Al Davis and former commissioner Pete Rozelle in a 2021 ESPN documentary and an AI-powered hologram of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that fans can question on a $55 stadium tour.
Key Takeaway: The author found no current examples of player deepfakes being used in the wild, but points to pay-for-shoutout services like Cameo as a ready template: a convincing fake of a player offering to prank a fantasy league for $50 is enough to take someone's money.
