Recently, a police in a certain place in the north also released a case of using "AI face change" to defraud the party. The fraudsters used artificial intelligence technology to communicate with the victims for more than ten minutes through WeChat video calls, and the victims transferred millions of yuan.
What attracts people's attention is that this case is not only a new type of online fraud, but also a political fraud case.
What the criminals simulated forged was a leading cadre known to the victim. In a WeChat video chat, the scammer after the "face change" proposed that his friend had a project deposit that needed to borrow the victim's company's corporate account. In the video picture, the scammer "changed faces" after the facial expression is natural, the voice is realistic, the victim relaxes his vigilance, and calls to confirm after the transfer, only to know that he was deceived.
"AI face change", "AI onomatopoeia", virtual scene construction... With the improvement of equipment performance and technical software optimization, the use of "AI face changing" technology to carry out fraud has become a new type of online fraud. Recently, a number of cases of artificial intelligence "assisted" fraud have been exposed in various places. Some lawbreakers use artificial intelligence to "deep fake" to impersonate leading cadres to deceive, which deserves to arouse high vigilance.
In some cases, criminals used methods such as "AI face-changing" synthetic videos to forge content such as meeting and taking photos with leading cadres to commit fraud, which increased the deception and harm of government-related fraud.
Some leading cadres have a relatively high appearance rate due to work reasons, which provides scammers with rich facial recognition materials; In the television and radio news, you can also find large voices of some leading cadres, which makes the "cost of counterfeiting" lower.
Recently, a local cadre in a certain place in northern China was also worried about an incident. Some people fraudulently used his name to add WeChat friends to his relatives and friends on a large scale.
"After adding friends with my relatives and friends, the scammers also gave them a video call. The call time is only a few seconds, and the friends feel that the sound and picture are a bit similar. The cadre said he didn't know about it until many friends called to inquire about the specifics, "and it is estimated that the next step is to start scamming money." Therefore, in recent days, I have sent several moments of friends to remind everyone. ”
Industry insiders interviewed said that as long as there are enough images and audio materials, criminals can fake virtual images and commit fraud through artificial intelligence "face changing" software and synthetic sound software. "Just extract a minimum of 10 words and a maximum of 32 words to synthesize its voice." Zhao Mingming, a security research expert of the State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group, told reporters.
