The expert warned about fraud with fake photos

Cybersecurity expert Alexey Rayevsky explained how dangerous fraud is with the generation of other people's photos using neural networks.

In conversation with aif.ru On Tuesday, June 17, the specialist said that attackers can create such images if they collect enough materials. The main purpose of the attackers is blackmail.

"Scammers are purely pragmatic people, and if they don't make a profit from generating other people's photos, they won't do it," Rayevsky stressed.

At the same time, the expert noted that it is difficult to fully protect yourself from such threats, because "even deleting information does not guarantee security."

According to him, due to the development of technology, photographs and videos themselves lose their value as evidence, "photographs and videos as physical evidence are being devalued."

"The armor is always lagging behind. And during this period of time — between the appearance of a new projectile and a new armor — someone may be unlucky, someone may become a victim of fraudsters," he concluded.

Earlier it was reported that fraudsters using neural networks create outright fakes based on other people's photos and extort money by threatening to publish them.

The route was set up: fraudsters began to attack logistics using AI

In May, Kaspersky Lab data researcher Vladislav Tushkanov revealed that fraudsters are already using neural networks to publish fake posts on social networks. Tushkanov noted that scammers are constantly adapting to the evolution of technology and using the excitement around neural networks for their own purposes, notes Life.ru .

On May 16, it became known that fraudsters had complicated the standard scheme of deceiving Russians and introduced a new stage there. At first, they call on behalf of couriers, imitating inexperienced scammers. Then, pretending that they forgot to turn off the microphone, they discuss the "divorce plan." After that, they contact the victim on behalf of Roskomnadzor and coax out the real code to log in to the online bank.

In March, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation warned Russians that scammers began to use the capabilities of neural networks to increase the effectiveness of phishing, which create more convincing messages, the website reports. kp.ru .

In February, NowSecure specialists identified several dangerous vulnerabilities in the DeepSeek iPhone app. The fact is that the chatbot collects everything that users write about. This can easily fall into the hands of scammers, writes NSN.
