Betrüger in #Hongkong haben mithilfe von #KI und Deepfake-Technologie eine #Videokonferenz inszeniert und so 24 Millionen Euro erbeutet.

Das Opfer dachte, es spreche mit echten Kolleg*innen, während alle anderen Teilnehmer KI-generierte Klone waren. Der Fall zeigt, wie raffiniert #CEOFraud mittlerweile geworden ist und unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit zusätzlicher #Sicherheitsmaßnahmen in Unternehmen.

"o IPBeja recebeu um email de um endereço comum (“dept.contabilidade@outlook.com”) pedindo para não efetuar o pagamento para “a conta antiga”. “Não é mais disponível”, lia-se. Foi para o IBAN indicado nessas mensagens que a transferência de 50.421,49 euros foi feita dias depois." :that_chapter_wtf:

@rbreich "Top salaries and bonuses must be paid to obtain the very best of the CEO crop," they say, only to find out they've hired incompetent, greedy dirtbags whom they then ply with money on the way out the door because they're too Fn embarrassed to admit they hired the greedy dirtbag. This is another insane construct of people living in their far-too-much-money Fantasyland. The people don't need this B.S.

Let's all calm down now, ok? Sure, deepfake video calls can be trustworthy enough to lure a potential victim into rash actions. But how many employees of a company are actually authorised to initiate transfers of millions of dollars? The theoretical attack surface is therefore much smaller than such headlines suggest. Effectively training the awareness of such a small number of employees should not be too difficult now. All it takes is for your CEO to tell you that he will never give you payment instructions via video call #AI #CyberSecurityNews #fraudprevention #cybersecurity #internalfraud #ThreatCloudAI #payrollfraud #TRENDINGNOW #cyberfraud #CyberTalk #CEOfraud #fraud #tech
