Identify 3 indicators in this photo that suggest it might be a deepfake Ever heard of 'deepfakes' and wondered what they are? Facial deepfakes are a type of synthetic media where the face of a person in a video or image is swapped or completely recreated using AI and deep learning. From simple face swaps in mobile apps to sophisticated face synthesis, the possibilities are endless. However, these deepfakes aren't just for fun - they carry significant implications for security, privacy, and misinformation. The misuse of deepfakes in areas like blackmail, identity theft, or fake news poses a real threat, underscoring the need for awareness and robust detection methods. #Deepfake #AI #Cybersecurity #TechAwareness

Deepfakes fueled by AI are fast approaching being able to reliably circumvent voice biometrics authentication and facial recognition algorithms. When deepfakes cross this threshold, FIs will be plagued with new-account fraud and account takeover fraud. Already, FIs are at risk of impersonation scams run against employees with the aid of deepfakes. This report considers the threats posed by cybercriminals wielding deepfakes and what FIs should be doing to defend against them.

As generative AI continues to advance, it’s no surprise that criminals are exploiting its capabilities for fraudulent purposes. In January 2024, scammers successfully duped an office worker in Hong Kong into wiring nearly $25 million by using deepfakes—sophisticated AI-generated impersonations of company executives—during a video call. The criminal interest in deepfakes has surged, with a 32% increase observed between Q1 2023 and Q1 2024 on dark web forums. This trend highlights the growing number of users seeking to exploit deepfake technology for illicit financial gain. 😱💰 Companies like Eleven Labs, HeyGen, and OpenAI’s SORA are driving advancements in deepfake technology, enabling criminals to create more convincing versions of long-standing scams. The ability to convincingly manipulate appearance and voice, combined with persistent security vulnerabilities in traditional credentials, underscores the need for significant updates in online trust and identity management practices. 🔒🔍 The line between fraudulent activity and reality is becoming thinner. 😶 #deepfake #reality #cybersecurity
