Beyond the screenshot: Why you should verify what you see

Screenshots can be easily fabricated and do not reliably verify the authenticity of payments, bookings, or communications. Users should employ additional verification methods beyond visual evidence when confirming sensitive transactions or interactions.

Why it matters: Everyone using digital services faces risk from social engineering and fraud schemes that rely on fake screenshots; practitioners should educate users and implement verification workflows that do not depend solely on screenshot evidence.
