The Arup case wasn't a hack in the traditional sense — it was a deepfake convincing someone to authorize a transfer. No exploit code, no malware, just sufficiently good synthetic media plus normal human trust. Feels like the conversation around AI risk is still stuck on hallucinations and bias while the actual money being lost is going through social engineering supercharged by generation quality. Are we just behind on naming the real threat model here?
