🔍 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。
