【香港IT快訊】Deepfake技術搗亂!AI偽裝英國財總騙走2億港元

? 事件簡述: 近日,香港發生一宗驚人的案件:某公司竟被以Deepfake技術偽裝成英國總部財務總監的詐騙份子,透過視訊會議,成功騙走高達2億港元(約台幣8億元)。 ?️ 警方調查: 一名跨國金融公司的香港分行職員在1月中收到一則訊息,聲稱是英國總部財務總監發來的。訊息要求進行機密交易並進行視訊通話,會議上有4至6人,而且這些人的臉龐竟然和真正的總監一模一樣。職員毫無猶疑地按照指示,分15次將2億港元匯款至五個本地銀行帳戶。直到後來查證,才發現自己中了詐騙的圈套。 ? Deepfake猖獗: 這是香港首宗Deepfake視訊會議騙局,也是AI詐騙案件損失金額最高的一宗。警方指出,歹徒可能事先下載影片,再利用AI技術製作出逼真的偽造影片。以前的「單人對單人」詐騙案已經進化成參與人數更多的視訊會議,可信度倍增。 ? 全球警惕: 除了香港,Deepfake問題在其他地區也屢見不鮮。美國議院兩黨最近合作立法,容許未經同意的受害者向法律追討因AI生成色情Deepfake內容所受的損失。印度演員Rashmika Mandanna最近也遭受Deepfake偽造影片的困擾,政府發出警告,社群媒體平台需對用戶分享的Deepfake內容負責,36小時內需刪除違規內容。 ? 保護自己: 作為用戶,我們應該保持警惕,不輕易相信視訊會議中的身份,特別是在金錢交易等重要場合。AI技術的進步,讓我們更需要保持警惕,以免成為Deepfake的下一個受害者。
