Modus Operandi
- The fraudster gathers sufficient data about the target individual, such as images, videos, social media posts, or audio recordings to create a realistic digital replica.
- The fraudster utilizes AI algorithms, particularly deep learning techniques, to train models that can generate highly convincing deepfake content using the victim’s data collected by fraudster.
- Using the trained AI models, the fraudster generates deepfake content, such as videos or audio, in which the target person's face or voice is manipulated or replaced with synthetic elements.
- The Deepfake content is used to deceive individuals, gain their trust and manipulate them to take a specific action, for malicious purposes like for financial gain, personal revenge, harassment, defamation, spreading misinformation, sextortion, extortion, etc.,
