Islamabad: Kaspersky researchers have found that there are counterfeiting tools and services deep in the black market. The service offers creative AI video generation for a variety of purposes, including fraud, blackmail, and identity theft. Kaspersky experts estimate that one minute of deep-dive video can fetch up to $300.
The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies in recent years has given threat actors sophisticated new tools to launch their attacks. One of them is a deep site that contains words or images and video samples like humans. Kaspersky warned that companies and consumers should be aware that deep streaming will be a concern in the future.
According to the latest Kaspersky Business Digitization study, 51% of employees surveyed in the META area said they could tell the depth of a real image, but only 25% said they could tell a real image from an image generated by AI when tested. Since employees are often prime targets for phishing and other social engineering attacks, it puts organizations at risk.
For example, cybercriminals can create fake videos of CEO wire transfers or payments that can be used to steal company funds. Individual videos or images can be created and used to solicit money or information.
“Although the technology to create high-quality depth is not yet available, one of the most likely for this is real-time voice recognition. It is important to remember that depth streams pose a threat not only to businesses, but also to individual users – they spread misinformation , is used to defraud or impersonate others, and is a growing cybersecurity threat to protect against,” said Hafeez Rehman, technical. team manager at Kaspersky.
Kaspersky advises individuals and businesses to be aware of the key features of deep video. Solutions like Kaspersky Threat Detection can help information security professionals stay abreast of the latest developments in the deep game. Companies should strengthen their human firewalls by making sure their employees understand what they’re seeing.
