CertiK: AI deep fake scams may not be limited to video and audio, and may even be possible through facial recognition of wallets

Security firms warn that AI-driven deepfake scams are increasingly threatening cryptocurrency holders. Gen Digital reported that such scams increased significantly in the second quarter of 2024, and the "CryptoCore" gang has defrauded more than $5 million in cryptocurrency. Web3 security company CertiK expects that such attacks may extend beyond video and audio, and may even deceive wallets that use facial recognition. Experts advise users to be vigilant, understand relevant threats and protection tools, be cautious about unsolicited requests for funds or information, and enable multi-factor authentication. At the same time, users should pay attention to identifying characteristics of deepfakes, such as unnatural facial expressions, eye movements, and lack of emotion. (Cointelegraph)
