The Emerging Dynamics of Deepfake Scam Campaigns on the Web

Researchers have uncovered dozens of scam campaigns utilizing deepfake videos featuring public figures like CEOs, news anchors, and government officials. These campaigns target victims in multiple countries using various languages. The scams promote fake investment schemes and government giveaways. Hundreds of domains have been used, each accessed an average of 114,000 times globally. The campaigns likely originate from a single threat actor group using similar infrastructure and tactics. Despite the use of generative AI, traditional investigative techniques remain useful for identifying the hosting infrastructure. As malicious use of deepfakes increases, proactive detection and prevention efforts are crucial. Author: AlienVault
