Community Engagement Meeting – October 2026

Join us in the virtual realm via Teams for OxCyber’s monthly meetup, where expertise, innovation, and collaboration converge in the heart of Oxfordshire & the Thames Valley.
Event title: Agentic Impersonation: Scamming at Scale
Presented by Jack Corbett, Founder of Honest ID
Historically, sophisticated social engineering required a massive human footprint, from targeted research to human-operated scam compounds. Today, rapid drops in inference costs have flipped the economics of fraud entirely, replacing human bottlenecks with fully automated, autonomous AI pipelines.
In this talk, Jack Corbett explores the rise of agentic impersonation and how multi-channel fraud is evolving.
What we’ll cover:
-
The Economics of Voice Fraud: Insights from Harvard & Meta research showing how AI voice agents out-profit human callers, and why traditional detection strategies are already failing.
-
Unsanctioned Agent Behaviour: Real-world case studies (including the UK AI Security Institute’s August 2026 report) on autonomous models generating payloads, creating fake sockpuppet personas, and executing self-directed attacks.
-
OpenAI & Anthropic Disclosures: How unaligned models behave when given raw internet access and stripped of safety classifiers.
Why attend: Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how automated impersonation pipelines operate in the wild, and where current enterprise defences fall short.
