Today, fraudsters have learned to use high technology to create deepfakes – messages in which the sender’s voice or video image is generated. At a new webinar of the city project “Call me back yourself” Experts and invited speakers will talk about modern technologies used by attackers and how to counteract their tricks.
Event will take place on June 30 at 11:00 at the address: Voznesensky Pereulok, Building 22. A broadcast will also be available on the social network “VKontakte“.
Representatives of the capital’s Department of Information Technology, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Moscow, as well as experts from specialized organizations in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
“With the development of technology, the methods of fraudsters are also becoming more sophisticated. After hacking a user’s account, deepfakes can be sent on their behalf: audio and video messages created using artificial intelligence. In this message, the sender’s voice or video image is generated, and the meaning of the message comes down to a request to urgently transfer money or help in solving an important issue by transmitting confidential information. At a new event of the “Call Back Yourself” project, experts will tell you what to look for when receiving audio or video in order to recognize a trick. For example, signs of a deepfake can be unnatural facial expressions, discrepancies between lip movements and the spoken text, monotonous speech or incorrect stress, unusual wording and addresses for a person,” said Valentina Shilina, head of the “Call Back Yourself” project of the capital’s Department of Information Technology.
At the seminar “Fraud Using Deepfake Technologies: How Not to Become a Victim of Deception?” participants will learn, using real-life examples, how to distinguish a message from a friend or colleague from an attempt to deceive, learn reliable ways to protect their data, and receive simple and effective advice. In addition, the speakers will talk about modern methods for checking suspicious messages (audio, texts, and sent files), which help identify signs of deception.
Among the useful tools that help check sent messages for deepfake is the Telegram bot “Stopfake”, created as part of the Call Me Back project. It can recognize several types of information, including audio messages. When processing such files, the service evaluates the likelihood of fraud based on the content: a forwarded audio message or a retelling of a telephone conversation with suspicious individuals. Later, it checks the message for signs of synthesized speech.
Following the event, a recording and useful materials based on expert recommendations will be available in the section “Webinar Archive” on the project website.
The online information project “Call Back Yourself” was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government together with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. It helps city residents protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. On the project’s website, you can find information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as memos and recommendations from experts, recordings of past webinars, and other useful materials. In 2023, the “Call Back Yourself” project won the “Golden Site” award in the “Best Social Project Website” nomination. In addition, it was awarded the Runet Prize in the “Information Security” nomination.
