AI-POWERED DEEPFAKE TOOLS BECOMING MORE ACCESSIBLE THAN EVER

Trend Micro research uncovers new cybercrime tools posing increased threats to
security, highlighting the rapid evolution of AI-powered hacking services and
their potential for mass exploitation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine receiving a video call from your boss, only to realize later that it was
a convincing deepfake orchestrated by cyber criminals. This scenario is no
longer science fiction but a real threat in today's rapidly evolving digital
landscape.

Cybersecurity is one of the most pressing challenges for businesses in the
digital age.

Trend Micro's latest research reveals a significant increase in the availability
of deep fake technology and the sophistication of AI tools in the cybercrime
underground. This evolution creates more opportunities for mass exploitation,
even by non-technically minded cyber criminals.

Several new deepfake tools on the cybercrime underground promise to create
highly convincing but fake videos and images seamlessly. They include:

DeepNude Pro: A criminal service that claims to be able to take the image of any
individual and rework it to display without clothes. This could be used for
sextortion campaigns.

Deepfake 3D Pro: Generates entirely synthetic 3D avatars featuring a face taken
from the picture of a victim. The avatar can be programmed to follow recorded or
generated speech. This could be used to fool banks' KYC checks or used to
impersonate celebrities in scams and vishing campaigns.

Deepfake AI: Enables criminals to stitch a victim's face to a compromising video
to ruin the victim's reputation and/or use it as extortion. Or it could be used
to spread fake news. Only supports pre-recorded videos.

SwapFace: Enables criminals to fake real-time video streams for BEC attacks and
other corporate scams.

VideoCallSpoofer: Similar to SwapFace, can generate a realistic 3D avatar from
one picture, and have it followed live the movement of an actor's face. This
enables deepfakes to be streamed on video conferencing calls and similar scams,
fake news, and other trickery.

Aside from deepfakes, the report revealed the re-emergence of defunct criminal
LLM services like WormGPT and DarkBERT, which are now armed with new
functionality. They're being advertised alongside new offerings, such as
DarkGemini and TorGPT, that offer multimodal capabilities, including
image-generation services.

However, the report noted that many of the ChatGPT-lookalike services offered on
the cybercrime underground are little more than "jailbreak-as-a-service"
frontends designed to trick commercial LLMs into providing unfiltered responses
to malicious queries.

It's also true that cybercriminals have generally adopted malicious generative
AI tools relatively slowly. That's most likely because current tactics,
techniques, and procedures (TTPs) work effectively enough without introducing
new technology.

With the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks, traditional
security measures are not enough. Businesses need to proactively test their
systems and networks for potential weaknesses and fix them before threat actors
exploit them. Individuals should be cautious of unsolicited communications and
verify the authenticity of online interactions.
