FBI releases PSA warning about all the ways that cybercriminals are using AI to commit fraud on a larger scale and to increase the success of their scams. The advisory warns about deepfaked videos and voice calls, as well as AI generated profile images to impersonate people.
Among their recommendations:
-Create a secret word or phrase with your family to verify their identity.
-Look for subtle imperfections in images and videos, such as distorted hands or feet, unrealistic teeth or eyes, indistinct or irregular faces, unrealistic accessories such as glasses or jewelry, inaccurate shadows, watermarks, lag time, voice matching, and unrealistic movements.
-Listen closely to the tone and word choice to distinguish between a legitimate phone call from a loved one and an AI-generated vocal cloning.
-If possible, limit online content of your image or voice, make social media accounts private, and limit followers to people you know to minimize fraudsters' capabilities to use generative AI software to create fraudulent identities for social engineering.
-Verify the identity of the person calling you by hanging up the phone, researching the contact of the bank or organization purporting to call you, and call the phone number directly.
-Never share sensitive information with people you have met only online or over the phone.
-Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other assets to people you do not know or have met only online or over the phone.
