Not really, IT generally have no idea what you look like. I suppose if the company provided your ID photo to tech support, then that could supplement this though. However, I've never seen a company do that.

I’ve definitely worked at companies with a formal corporate directory that had your name, phone #, office location, and badge photo. Seems less common in startups though.

Even just having your face recorded (after which, if it turned out you were a hacker, it could go on wanted posters or whatever) might be a significant deterrent.

I assume with some OS plug-in you can have an AI model slightly change your face enough to not be traced back to you

Does it look legit? Visual glitches would raise a red flag.

Having seen some of the filters people show off on TikTok... Yes. Yes they do.

we have a company directory with everyone's photo in it all employees can access. It's part of the HR onboard to put a photo in your profile day 1.
