Deepfake is similar to Photoshopping, but worse – and the consequences can be disastrous.
This deep-learning system can produce a convincing counterfeit by “studying” photographs and videos of the unlucky person from multiple angles. It will then mimic the person’s behaviour and speech patterns.
According to a MIT Tech Review report, deepfake technology has been applied on a platform that promises to allow anyone the ability to turn anyone into a pornstar. Cyberattackers are also making use of deepfakes. Using the technology, attackers can show people or businesses in all sorts of illicit behaviours that have the power to damage their reputation if the images went public.So how can you spot them?
It is important to verify whatever you see. If you receive a message, double or even triple check its source. If you are suspicious about a picture, do an image search to find the original, if possible.
