E181: INTERPOL’s advice is “laughable”?! How deepfakes are used in money laundering
Notes de l’épisode
INTERPOL has just launched a public campaign warning that “AI is erasing the tell-tale signs of a scam.”
Deepfakes now turn up at both ends of a laundering operation. They trick victims into sending money, and they open the accounts that move it on.
We’ve come a long way from badly spelt phishing emails from a Nigerian prince.
Our expert host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by Sandy Kronenberg, Founder & CEO at Netarx, to reveal: how deep fakes are used in money laundering.
The pair discuss: how deepfakes steal the money, open the accounts and supply the mules, how identity documents are fake, and whether we’re heading back to the bank branch to open accounts.
