World ID now blocks deepfake fraud on Zoom and in banking.

World ID tools were created after a 2024 case in which an Arup employee transferred $25.6 million during a video call whose participants were deepfakes.

The new Zoom feature shows a blue badge for users whose iris scan is verified by an Orb device, letting banks and financial firms confirm a real person is present.

World ID for agents lets a single trusted AI agent carry a user’s delegated Proof, akin to a power of attorney, so merchants can treat the agent as the person’s alter ego.

Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital and VanEck are initial design partners.

The WLD token was trading around $0.49, down 0.7 % in 24 hours and more than 11 % in seven days, still about 96 % below its $11.74 all‑time high.

Do you think iris‑based verification will become standard for high‑stakes virtual interactions?

**🚨 Deepfake Crypto Scams Are Getting Scary Good — Here's What Just Happened**

Hong Kong police just busted a group that used deepfake technology to run a 34 million yuan crypto scam. 31 arrests. 5 facing fraud and money laundering charges.

How it worked:
🎭 Fake identities built using deepfake tech to gain trust
💬 Victims lured through social media relationships
💰 Convinced to invest in bogus "crypto platforms" promising fake $BTC returns
⚡ Funds moved out fast before anyone noticed

This isn't some low-effort scam anymore. Deepfakes are making fraud look completely legitimate — fake faces, fake voices, fake credibility.

2026 is already crypto's worst year for hacks — over $1.26 billion lost, with another $768 million in one month alone.

The uncomfortable truth: most victims weren't careless. They were targeted by tech good enough to fool anyone.

Rule of thumb that still holds: if someone you "met" online is pushing you toward a platform promising guaranteed $BTC or $ETH gains, pause and verify independently — every single time.

Stay safe out there. Have you or anyone you know run into something like this? 👇
