FRANKOVITS, Guy; YISROEL, Mirsky. Discussion Paper: The Threat of Real Time Deepfakes. In: Proceedings of the 2st Workshop on Security Implications of Deepfakes and Cheapfakes. 2023
Generative deep learning models are able to create realistic audio and video. This technology has been used to impersonate the faces and voices of individuals. These ``deepfakes'' are being used to spread misinformation, enable scams, perform fraud, and blackmail the innocent. The technology continues to advance and today attackers have the ability to generate deepfakes in real-time. This new capability poses a significant threat to society as attackers begin to exploit the technology in advances social engineering attacks. In this paper, we discuss the implications of this emerging threat, identify the challenges with preventing these attacks and suggest a better direction for researching stronger defences.
Deepfake technology (DT) has taken a new level of sophistication. Cybercriminals now can manipulate sounds, images, and videos to defraud and misinform individuals and businesses. This represents a growing threat to international institutions and individuals which needs to be addressed. This paper provides an overview of deepfakes, their benefits to society, and how DT works. Highlights the threats that are presented by deepfakes to businesses, politics, and judicial systems worldwide. Additionally, the paper will explore potential solutions to deepfakes and conclude with future research direc…

In the recent years, social media has grown to become a major source of information for many online users. This has given rise to the spread of misinformation through deepfakes. Deepfakes are videos or images that replace one persons face with another computer-generated face, often a more recognizable person in society. With the recent advances in technology, a person with little technological experience can generate these videos. This enables them to mimic a power figure in society, such as a president or celebrity, creating the potential danger of spreading misinformation and other nefarious…

Social engineering (SE) is a form of deception that aims to trick people into giving access to data, information, networks and even money. For decades SE has been a key method for attackers to gain access to an organization, virtually skipping all lines of defense. Attackers also regularly use SE to scam innocent people by making threatening phone calls which impersonate an authority or by sending infected emails which look like they have been sent from a loved one. SE attacks will likely remain a top attack vector for criminals because humans are the weakest link in cyber security. Unfortunat…
Recently, significant advancements have been made in face recognition technologies using Deep Neural Networks. As a result, companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Naver offer highly accurate commercial face recognition web services for diverse applications to meet the end-user needs. Naturally, however, such technologies are threatened persistently, as virtually any individual can quickly implement impersonation attacks. In particular, these attacks can be a significant threat for authentication and identification services, which heavily rely on their underlying face recognition technologies…
Recently, image manipulation has achieved rapid growth due to the advancement of sophisticated image editing tools. A recent surge of generated fake imagery and videos using neural networks is DeepFake. DeepFake algorithms can create fake images and videos that humans cannot distinguish from authentic ones. (GANs) have been extensively used for creating realistic images without accessing the original images. Therefore, it is become essential to detect fake videos to avoid spreading false information. This paper presents a survey of methods used to detect DeepFakes and datasets available for de…

According to the 2020 cyber threat defence report, 78% of Canadian organizations experienced at least one successful cyberattack in 2020. The consequences of such attacks vary from privacy compromises to immersing damage costs for individuals, companies, and countries. Specialists predict that the global loss from cybercrime will reach 10.5 trillion US dollars annually by 2025. Given such alarming statistics, the need to prevent and predict cyberattacks is as high as ever. Our increasing reliance on Machine Learning(ML)-based systems raises serious concerns about the security and safety of the…

Significant advances in deep learning have obtained hallmark accuracy rates for various computer vision applications. However, advances in deep generative models have also led to the generation of very realistic fake content, also known as deepfakes, causing a threat to privacy, democracy, and national security. Most of the current deepfake detection methods are deemed as a binary classification problem in distinguishing authentic images or videos from fake ones using two-class convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These methods are based on detecting visual artifacts, temporal or color incons…
