Probably wasn't a "deepfake" just someone decent with impressions and a $99 mixer. After compression this will be more than good enough to fool just about anyone. No deepfake is needed. Just call the person once and record a 30 second phone call. Tell them you are delivering some package and need them to confirm their address.


That is more plausible. But the embellishment about the phisher knowing the layout of the office etc makes me think it was just straight up an inside job, with the employee willingly handing over the OTP and trying to cover their tracks.
