After researching darknet forums, where cybercriminals often operate, Kaspersky determined that there are many criminals using deepfakes for fraud, to the point that demand far exceeds the supply of deepfake software currently on the market.
Kaspersky experts predict that deepfake scams will increase in variety and sophistication, from offering a high-quality impersonation video with full production services to using celebrity images in fake social media livestreams and promising to double the amount the victim sent them.
While AI is being abused by criminals for malicious purposes, individuals and businesses can still leverage AI to identify deepfakes to reduce the likelihood of scams succeeding. Kaspersky shares solutions for users to protect themselves from deepfake scams:
AI content detection tools: AI-powered content detection software uses advanced AI algorithms to analyze and determine the level of editing in image, video, and audio files.
Watermarked AI content: Watermarks act as identification marks in images, videos, etc. to help authors protect copyright for AI works. However, this tool can become a weapon against deepfakes because this form can help trace the origin of the platform that created the AI.
Content provenance: Since AI collects large amounts of data from various sources to create new content, this approach aims to trace the origin of that content.
Video authentication: is the process of verifying that the video content has not been altered since it was first created. This is the process that video creators are most concerned about.
“Deepfake has become a nightmare for women and society. Cybercrime are now exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) to superimpose victims’ faces onto pornographic photos and videos as well as in propaganda campaigns. These forms aim to manipulate public opinion by spreading false information or even damaging the reputation of organizations or individuals. We call on the public to be more vigilant against this threat,” said Ms. Vo Duong Tu Diem, Country Director of Kaspersky Vietnam.
