The GCC plans to create numerous job opportunities, contributing to employment in India and attracting top-tier talent in India’s IT and cybersecurity sectors. Arctic Wolf plans to hire 150 employees by mid-2025, with recruitment focused on roles in core research and development areas including threat intelligence, and AI, while service delivery roles will continue to be staffed out of North America and Europe.

Speaking on the expansion, Jeff Green, senior vice president, research and development, Arctic Wolf: "The launch of Arctic Wolf’s first Global Capability Centre in Bengaluru is an exciting milestone for us. This centre will allow us to build a dedicated team focused on advancing cybersecurity innovations, while also fostering collaboration across our global operations. We’re committed to leveraging India’s strong technical expertise and pedigree of innovation to support core areas of our future product development. I am eager to see the unique perspectives and skillsets that our team here will bring to further elevate Arctic Wolf’s solutions and enhance our ability to protect organizations worldwide.”

With this expansion, Arctic Wolf's global footprint continues to grow, now protecting over 6,000 customers across key industries, and employing more than 2,500 employees worldwide. Recognized as the fastest-growing security services vendor in the 2023 Gartner Worldwide Security Services Market Share Report, the company has also been named one of the fastest-growing technology companies by the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for five consecutive years and is the only cybersecurity firm included in CNBC's Disruptor 50 three times in a row. These achievements underscore Arctic Wolf's commitment to innovation and its position as a leader in transforming security operations globally.

McAfee Reveals the Indian Celebrity Names Most Often Exploited For Online Scams

   Orry (Orhan Awatramani), tops the list, followed by Diljit Dosanjh and Alia Bhatt, as the Indian celebrity names most frequently used by cybercriminals for online scams. 

·  McAfee’s Celebrity Hacker Hotlist study is an evolution from the company’s 16-year tradition of highlighting the most popular celebrity

 searches that lead to malware and risky sites. 

·   rise of generative AI and deepfakes has made it easier than ever for cybercrooks to generate unauthorized clips that can scam unsuspecting  consumers out of money and damage a celebrity’s brand and business.  

Today, global online protection company McAfee unveiled its annual ‘Celebrity

 Hacker Hot List 2024’, identifying Indian celebrities whose names generate the “riskiest” online results. This year’s results show that the more popular or viral a celebrity is, the more appealing their names are for cybercriminals looking to exploit their fame to create malicious sites and scams. These scams often lead to significant data breaches, financial losses, and personal information theft. 

Topping the list for India is Orhan Awatramani, also known as Orry. His sudden rise in popularity, association with other high-profile celebrities, and surge in content have made his name an appealing one for cybercriminals to exploit. This highlights how cybercriminals take advantage of the flood of unverified information around new or upcoming public figures to lure consumers searching for updates. Following him on the list is singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh, who's upcoming 'Dil-Luminati' concert tour has been plagued with concerns around ticketing scams. Large-scale events like these are often exploited due to overwhelming fan interest and a surge in search volume, leading to fraudulent ticketing sites, discount or re-sale schemes and phishing scams. 

The rise of generative AI and deepfakes has further complicated the cybersecurity landscape, with many celebrities becoming victims of misinformation. Leading actress Alia Bhatt has been subjected to multiple deepfake incidents, while actors Ranveer Singh and Aamir Khan have been falsely depicted endorsing political parties through election-related deepfakes. Personalities like Virat Kohli and Shahrukh Khan have also appeared in deepfake content promoting betting apps. Scammers capitalize on fans’ curiosity using tactics like malicious URLs, deceptive messages, and AI-driven image-audio-video scams resulting in financial losses and damaging the reputation of and consumer trust in impacted celebrities.  

"It's easy for individuals to fall into the trap of clicking on malicious links, often misled by clickbait content promising free tickets or downloads—especially if it features a celebrity’s likeness. Imagine a world where your favourite celebrity stars in an advertisement they've never filmed, or a politician delivers a speech they've never given. This is the reality we face today. AI-generated deepfakes use existing content to manipulate faces, voices, and even actions. While some deepfakes are harmless fun, others can spread misinformation, influence elections, damage reputations, or scam consumers. If something seems too good to be true, it likely is. To protect oneself and loved one's online privacy and identity, it's important to remain vigilant," said Vonny Gamot, McAfee’s Head of EMEA. 

Top Ten on India’s McAfee Hacker Celebrity Hot List 

The top ten list, which includes a combination of longtime talent and more recently well-known names, is as follows: 

1. Orry (Orhan Awatramani) 

2. Diljit Dosanjh  

3. Alia Bhatt  

4. Ranveer Singh  

5. Virat Kohli  

6. Sachin Tendulkar  

7. Shahrukh Khan  

8.  Deepika Padukone  

9.  Aamir Khan  

10.   Mahendra Singh Dhoni  

Earlier this year, a McAfee survey revealed that 80% of Indians are now more concerned about deepfakes than a year ago, with 64% stating that AI has made it more difficult to spot online scams.   75% of Indians reported to have seen deepfake content, 38% have encountered a deepfake scam and 18% have been a victim of a deepfake scam. Among those affected by deepfake scams, 57% mistook a celebrity video, image, or recording for authentic, with 31% suffered financial loss as a result. Of those who fell prey to a voice cloning or other deepfake/AI scams, 64% lost money, with 43% losing more than ?40,000 and 10% losing more than ?800,000. 

McAfee's Celebrity Hacker Hot List serves as a stark reminder for consumers to understand how AI scams and deepfakes work, and how they can best protect themselves from online threats. McAfee’s Threat Research Labs Team created the Celebrity Hacker Hot List by identifying the high-profile celebrities most frequently used in malicious activities and deepfake scams. These scams often generate unsafe search results that could lead consumers to unknowingly install malware and jeopardize their data, privacy, and identity.
