Deep fakes in Kazakhstan: how artificial intelligence fraudsters steal billions from ordinary people The age of primitive SMS divorce is irretrievably gone. Now cybercriminals are using neural networks to hack not only banking applications, but also the human psyche. The damage from Internet fraud in the Republic of Kazakhstan has already exceeded 30 billion tenge, and this figure is growing. AI clones your child's voice in messenger or creates a video call from "KNB employee" / "manager of a state company". The perfect synchronization of lips and intonations drives the victim into a stupor. Scammers don't just steal money. They force the victim to transfer funds to fake accounts themselves, turning the fraudster into a financial messenger and an accomplice to a serious crime. Neural networks sew the faces of ordinary people from social networks to porn, and demand a ransom for not distributing. Corporate carelessness and uploading documents to unverified AI bots provide fraudsters with a basis for perfect forgeries. Government agencies and banks never solve problems through couriers. Come up with a "code word" with your loved ones. If a "relative" or "boss" demands money urgently, hang up and call back through another communication channel.
