Kaspersky Explores How the Deep Fake Industry Works
- Istimewa
Besides the fact that deep fakes are used for financial fraud, they can also cause major privacy issues. A concerning fact is that some deep fake makers offer services for porn video creation.
These vendors also create tutorials for creating such fake videos, including lessons on choosing source material and the process of face-swapping to produce convincing forgeries. Unfortunately, this deep fake can be used to blackmail individuals, causing serious emotional and even financial harm to victims.
"The fact that there is a high demand for deep fake creation services also shows that individuals and groups with malicious intent are willing to pay large sums of money to obtain such videos," Vladislav Tushkanov stated.Â
He also said: "As technology continues to improve and become more accessible, companies and individuals must take measures to protect against deepfake-related fraud and attacks."Â
Constant monitoring of Dark web resources provides valuable insights into the deep fake industry, allowing researchers to track the latest trends and activities of threat actors in this space. By monitoring the darknet, researchers can discover new tools, services, and markets used to create and distribute deepfakes.
This type of monitoring is a critical component of deep fake research and helps improve our understanding of the evolving threat landscape. Kaspersky's Digital Footprint Intelligence service includes this type of monitoring to help its customers stay ahead of deep fake-related threats.
