Deepfake Fraud
Another deepfake fraud has come to light, this time involving a fake video of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asking his troops to surrender. The video, which was spread on social media, was quickly debunked by experts who pointed out that Zelenskyy’s voice and mannerisms were not consistent with the video. This incident highlights the growing threat of deepfake fraud, which can be used to spread misinformation, damage reputations, and even influence elections.
