Scammers are using AI to create fake pornographic videos of victims and demanding payment from them to not disseminate them, the FBI warns.
Deepfake technology, which can create convincing artificial media, like videos of one person’s face on another’s body, has rapidly advanced and become widespread in recent years.
Criminals will often insist that victims, some of them children, pay them in money, gift cards or even in authentic sexual imagery, the FBI said, and will threaten to publish the deepfakes on the open internet or send them to friends and family if they refuse. Eva Casey-Velasquez, the president of the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit that helps scammed victims, said that perpetrators sometimes try to shock victims with particularly intimate material.
