The H1 2026 Deepfake Threat Report

Resemble AI’s H1 2026 Deepfake Threat Report identifies 821 verified deepfake attacks from 1,760 news reports, affecting at least 15,736 documented victims and involving 3.46 million synthetic files, with Grok reportedly responsible for 87% of counted files. These incidents generated an estimated potential media reach of 292.8 billion, nearly matching the total for all of 2025, while brand and reputation attacks and political disinformation accounted for 88.5% of attack reach. Nonconsensual sexual imagery, including CSAM, represented 137 incidents, or roughly one in six attacks, and could create $2.24 billion in statutory civil exposure despite verified direct losses of $6.95 million. The report also notes that corporate fraud received comparatively little press coverage, potentially reflecting underreporting driven by reputational, legal, and financial concerns, while 129 regulatory and policy developments were tracked alongside the threat data.
