Bitdefender has introduced RealCheck, a standalone app designed to detect deepfake videos and assess their authenticity and malicious intent. The app is available for Android and iOS, allowing users to analyze video links or uploaded files. As deepfakes become increasingly prevalent, they pose significant risks, including financial fraud and misinformation. A Bitdefender survey indicates that deepfake scams are the top security concern for consumers, with only 24.5% able to identify high-quality deepfakes accurately. RealCheck provides detailed reports on manipulation likelihood and deceptive intent, rather than simple binary results. The app is currently available in English across 14 countries, with plans for additional language support. Monthly subscription plans are offered, starting at $4.99.
