Panicking-texting your best friend at 2 AM after a convin...

Conversation

1. HR just scheduled an urgent meeting for 9 AM tomorrow.
2. What happened?
3. Slack pinned a video of me and Mark in his office.
4. A video? that sounds like the deepfake.
5. It's labeled from my account and posted in #announcements.
6. Who posted it exactly?
7. My account did, but I swear I didn't.
8. Did Slack show IP or edit history?
9. Timestamped 11:57 PM, and the audio matches our voices.
10. You were with me at that time.
11. I was FaceTiming you until midnight, yes.
12. Then how is the video from your account?
13. I think someone used my credentials or made a perfect deepfake.
14. Wait, Mark texted someone 'it worked' earlier.
15. Who did Mark text?
16. A DM to 'J', whoever that is.
17. J is Jay from IT, isn't he?
18. Jay left last month but still has admin access.
19. Jay used to freelance on synthetic media projects.
20. So Jay could've made the deepfake.
21. Or Jay's creds were used to upload it.
22. HR already pulled Mark into a separate chat.
23. Mark denied everything and blamed a 'security breach'.
24. Why would Mark risk his job right before my review?
25. Maybe he wanted to tank your promotion.
26. Or cover up something bigger we don't know yet.
27. Also, someone screenshotted the thread and DMed the team.
28. I saw comments already, people are tagging execs.
29. Don't go to HR alone; get legal and preserve logs.
30. I deleted my FaceTime call log; I'm an idiot.
