What makes deep-fake cheating so effective?

Virtual characters, and especially virtual actors can make the new types of phishing attacks possible. The attacker simply makes the virtual actor. That plays the boss or person's spouse. Then the controller just uses those characters to play the trusted person and asks for the keys to the system or credit card numbers. The AI character can also be trained to give answers that please the user. The character can cry or it can make many psychological tricks to cheat a person to give information that they should not give.

There are people on the net who want to get access to other people's money. One of the things that makes that kind of thing possible is the deep-fake attacks. Those attacks benefit the AI and its ability to create artificial actors. And the thing that the AI can make is a copy of the spouse. The person asks about details about the personal life like this: "Are you single or married?". The person on the other side will not realize that the person who makes the question is the AI. Then the AI searches the data of the spouse. That can happen by making phone calls and searching social media. That data is used to train the AI. 

That thing makes the virtual character of the person's spouse. Then that digital twin asks about the credit card numbers or access to accounts. And who would deny those things from the spouse? This thing can cost lots of money if the person does not understand that things like credit card numbers must not be given on the net. The thing is that artificial intelligence makes it possible for attackers to create virtual characters. Those characters look and feel like real people. 

The AI can train itself using data that is collected from net meetings and webinars. And the bad guys can use characters like big bosses. They can even try to create the virtual character that plays presidents. And that kind of thing is one of the things that we must realize when we use the internet. The person who controls the AI character can discuss it with other people by using those characters. The AI changes speech and text to fit to things that the model uses. And that is one way to make a phishing attack.
