Adam Levin’s comments were featured in a story about a cyber-kidnapping scam in Utah involving a Chinese exchange student in the Daily Mail, a UK-based newspaper.
The story highlights the dangers of deepfakes and fraudulent kidnapping scams where relatives are contacted by someone pretending to be in danger and in need of money.

Also featured in the article was Jen DeStefano, who shared her deepfake kidnapping story on an episode of the What the Hack with Adam Levin podcast.
