Russian senator: Fraudsters use artificial intelligence to fake close-up photos in account scams.
Senator Sheikin told TASS that after taking over foreign accounts, crooks falsify not only messages in the name of family members but also their photos. According to him, for the reliability of the images, they use neural networks.
The attackers study the correspondence and reproduce the familiar style of conversation, while promising to return the amount within a few hours or days. When the victim tries to call, the other party replies that he is in a work meeting, and then sends a photograph in which he is supposedly sitting among colleagues.
