After reading the whole article - wow that was one sophisticated scam.
Deepfake was only one part of it, scammers impersonated multiple people on video, chat and email to create a believable story. It was apparently not too out of line with the normal company processes, which makes it extra scary (and likely helped by someone on the inside)
