AI deepfakes are no longer limited to viral videos or fake images …
AI deepfakes are no longer limited to viral videos or fake images online.
Today, artificial intelligence can replicate a person’s face, voice, and mannerisms well enough to be used in …phone calls, FaceTime conversations, video chats, and live interactions where people assume what they see and hear is real.
To prove it, we made an AI Deepfake of not just our Solutions Director, but our IT Director as well. Within a few minutes, we had footage of them saying things they never said–asking for passwords and bank information.
These were generated from a single photograph and one prompt.
This is what makes AI deepfakes dangerous. They can be used for scams, impersonation, fraud, blackmail, misinformation, and identity theft, even when there is no face‑to‑face interaction. A cloned voice on a phone call or a realistic face on a video chat can be enough to convince someone they are speaking to a real person.
We did this with regulated, professional-market tools. Can you imagine what bad actors can do with unregulated, dark web tools?
As AI tools become faster, cheaper, and easier to use, the risk moves beyond the internet and into everyday life. Trust is no longer guaranteed by seeing a face or hearing a voice.
Families, businesses, and entire institutions are now vulnerable to manipulation in ways we were not prepared for.
Society isn’t ready for AI deepfakes. Are you?

Microsoft Changes Affecting Copiers: Basic Auth & WPP Explained
Are you aware of the latest updates regarding Basic Authentication …
Are you aware of the latest updates regarding Basic Authentication Deprecation and Windows Protected Print Mode that Microsoft is pushing to copiers and printers?
Craig, Solutions Director at Century Business Products …& Catalyst IT, breaks down the SMTP changes and WPP in this video.
BASIC AUTHENTICATION DEPRECATION (RETIREMENT):
*******BASIC AUTHENTICATION RETIREMENT HAS NOW BEEN DELAYED TO DECEMBER 2026********
Microsoft is retiring Basic Authentication for Exchange Online, requiring organizations to transition to Modern Authentication (OAuth 2.0) to enhance email security and reduce attack risks.
When this happens, “scan to my email” or similar scanning functions will be severed and will not work without OAuth or added software to relay your emails through Microsoft Exchange.
If you have a Kyocera, you’re in luck: built in OAuth is coming to new devices. Older devices can utilize Kyocera Exchange Online Connector or Kyocera Cloud Capture (KCC).
Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP) is a major security update that eliminates the need for third-party print drivers, reducing vulnerabilities and requiring fewer user privileges. This is an alternative to Universal Print.
However, enabling WPP prematurely may cause compatibility issues with certain devices and finishing options, so careful evaluation is essential before activation.
This is available now and will default in 2027. We recommend that you hold off before enabling WPP as we wait for the PSAs (Printer Support Applications) to further develop. This will allow for more compatibility between Windows Protected Print and your copier.
