Major attacks included a breach of the City of Columbus by Rhysida ransomware and data leaks impacting Virginia’s Department of Elections and Healthcare.gov. Additionally, China’s "Salt Typhoon" espionage campaign is aggressively targeting U.S. ISPs, further complicating the cyber threat landscape.

Deepfake Controversy: Scammers Use Deepfakes of Virat Kohli, Anant Ambani to Fraud

CloudSEK’s latest research uncovers a troubling trend involving scammers using deepfake technology to promote fraudulent mobile applications. High-profile individuals, such as Virat Kohli, Anant Ambani, and even international figures like Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Reynolds, have been targeted through deepfake videos. These manipulated clips showcase them endorsing a mobile gaming app, luring unsuspecting users into scams. The fraudulent ads leverage the credibility of renowned news channels to enhance their legitimacy, fooling users into downloading harmful applications from fake domains resembling Google Play or Apple App Store. This emerging threat is particularly aimed at the Indian market but extends to other regions like Nigeria, Pakistan, and Southeast Asia. The deceptive gaming apps, designed to siphon money from users, require a minimum deposit, promising quick earnings but leading to significant financial losses. These scams exploit deepfake videos in creative ways to bypass detection, making them even more dangerous. To combat this growing threat, CloudSEK’s Deep Fake Analyzer offers a free solution for the cybersecurity community, helping professionals detect and mitigate the risks posed by manipulated videos, images, and audio. This tool is crucial in safeguarding organizations from deepfake-related scams and fraud. To access the CloudSEK Deep Fake Analyzer, visit https://community.cloudsek.com/
