Deel acquired Israeli deepfake security startup Clarity in $40-50M deal as AI fraud surges in recruitment; Clarity's tech will extend identity checks beyond hiring

About the Issue

Clarity's systems identified a fake candidate in the final hiring stage for an engineering role who was about to gain access to sensitive systems, according to CEO Michael Matias.

Such fake identities can be bought for as little as $50 on the Dark Web and are used by state-sponsored groups and criminals, as reported by the FBI.
