We are all going to need to have personal passwords/safe words we don't reveal to untrusted parties for authentication. Or maybe personal retinal scanners? I think personal auth might be an interesting startup to get ahead of this.

So they’ll call you first with the fake video of your mom.

You’ll be suspicious and ask for the pass phrase. The attacker now knows the nature of the protection you setup between you and your mom.

And then the real attack on your mom, with you describing the system you’d agreed to, and claiming you can’t remember the word/phrase.

Better is the Terminator-style lie to see if it gets detected.
