Hoxhunt introduces deepfake phishing training — preparing your workforce for the most advanced AI-driven threats before they strike.

AI is changing the threat landscape

Deepfake technology has already enabled multimillion-dollar scams. In one case, fraudsters used a deepfake CFO in a video call to trick an employee into paying out $25 million. These attacks are no longer science fiction — they’re real, and they’re costly.

Phishing is evolving beyond text and email. Now, attackers can replicate faces, voices, and mannerisms, making it nearly impossible to trust what you see and hear. Organizations must prepare their people for this reality.

Introducing Hoxhunt’s deepfake phishing attack simulation

We’re proud to launch our Deepfake Phishing Attack training — a first-of-its-kind simulation that takes employees inside a realistic deepfake scam scenario.

Here’s how it works:

  • Employees receive a simulated phishing email, appearing to come from a trusted colleague or executive.
  • The email invites them to join a video call (Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom).
  • On the call, a deepfaked avatar — cloned from a real person from your organisation — asks them to click a link in chat.
  • If they do, they land on a simulation failed page, turning the mistake into a learning moment.
  • Alternatively, the deepfake experience can be delivered directly inside Hoxhunt Security Awareness Training — allowing employees to learn from the scenario in a safe training environment, even without engaging with a phishing attack first.

Why this training matters

Traditional phishing awareness only covers emails. But the threats of tomorrow are multi-step, multimedia, and powered by AI. By experiencing a deepfake first-hand, your employees learn:

  • To question suspicious requests — even if they look and sound real.
  • To recognize urgency, emotional manipulation, and unexpected tasks as red flags.
  • To build resilience against the cutting edge of social engineering.

Fully customizable to your organization

Every deepfake training can be tailored to your context:

  • Impersonate your executives — likeness and voice of your leadership team.
  • Choose the environment — Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom.
  • Pick the targets — all employees for broad awareness, or specific high-risk groups such as finance teams, executive assistants, or direct reports of the C-suite.
  • Adapt the format — full video + audio or audio-only.

Prepare today for the threats of tomorrow

AI-powered attacks will only get more convincing. Defenses built on yesterday’s threats won’t be enough. With Hoxhunt deepfake training, you can safeguard your people — and your business — from the next generation of social engineering.
