    Very unlikely, If you read and refer to the article. The identity was stolen but the pic is a stock photo.

    The two images at the top of this story are a stock photo and what KnowBe4 says is the AI fake based on the stock photo.

      My thought on that is that they needed a new location so their image didn’t just look like a modified version of another of the victim’s public images, so NK searched for a stock photo for a professional looking location. Ars has just located the stock image they started from.
