The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s recent guidance on AI-enabled fraud suggests limiting our online presence and manually authenticating every video call participant. In today's digital-first world, this isn't just impractical, it's impossible. Read our latest analysis on why we need to evolve beyond "just hang up and call back" security measures: https://lnkd.in/grXpD2UA #deepfake #cybersecurity #identity

The mission of AI companies needs to be about empowering the user. A conversation done by Andreessen Horowitz that dives into how we can manage the deepfake epidemic. #a16z #ethicalAI #validia

Regula's recent "Deepfake Trends 2024" study paints a stark picture of the impact deepfakes are having on crypto companies. A staggering 57% of crypto firms reported voice cloning incidents, outpacing even traditional document fraud. Over half encountered deepfake videos. And the financial toll is substantial, with the average deepfake attack costing $440,000. Over a third of companies lost over $500K in a single incident. But why are crypto companies being hit so hard? It comes down to the unique vulnerabilities of the industry. Crypto operates in a largely decentralized environment where trust is paramount. Transactions are primarily irreversible, and the anonymity of blockchain makes it easier for fraudsters to disappear with their ill-gotten gains. Deepfakes exploit these very trust mechanisms. Scammers clone executives' voices to authorize fraudulent transfers or create deepfake videos promoting scam projects. Synthetic identities help build false credibility before vanishing with funds. Real-time deepfakes can even sometimes spoof the biometric checks used in identity verification. Perhaps most alarmingly, deepfakes are now being used to infiltrate crypto companies from within. Fraudsters are impersonating job candidates over live video interviews, using deepfake technology to mimic facial expressions, speech patterns, and even background environments. Once hired, these synthetic employees can wreak havoc from inside the organization by stealing data, diverting funds, and more. At Validia, we're tackling this head-on with continuous, AI-powered identity authentication. Our system fuses micro-expressions, voice patterns, and biological signals to detect all of these AI threats. #Validia
