Deepfake ransomware is a mighty combination that several security experts fear would happen soon. The term deepfake was first publicly coined by Paul Andrei Bricman, though he opted with a slightly different construction. Ransomware is malware that holds the victims files hostage, while deepfakes are the manipulation of media, may they be still images and/or videos accompanied by voice, resulting in a believable composite that is challenging to the naked eye and software. The threat actor behind such a campaign would offer up their targets the option to permanently delete the video file after payment.”]
