Fraudsters use artificial intelligence tools in fraudulent schemes. This is reported by UNN with reference to the State Special Communications Service.
Using AI, fraudsters can fake your photos, videos, and even your voice. Here's how it works: fraudsters hack into messenger accounts and ask to borrow money from friends of the account owner. But to be more convincing, fraudsters send voice messages by cloning a person's voice with artificial intelligence, using recordings that the person has previously sent in chats
It is noted that this makes them more convincing, and potential victims may truly believe that they are helping their friend. How to protect yourself from fraud?
Call your friend back or ask them something that only the two of you can know, it can be a simple question like “how did we meet?
To protect your page from hacking, set up two-factor authentication, or this function is also called two-step verification.
When setting up this feature, in addition to your login and password, you must specify an electronic key or confirmation code to be sent to your smartphone, e-mail or the corresponding application. You should do this if you will be logging into your account from an unknown browser or mobile device
In this case, even if the fraudster finds out your password, he or she will not be able to hack into your account.
