Don't believe everything you hear

Deepfake, high-quality AI-based voice has been actively used in fraudulent schemes. Usually the fraudsters pretend to be bosses, co-workers, or family members and ask for help.

The scheme aims to trick the victim into voluntarily sending money to criminals. To avoid this fraud mode, follow the following tips:

Only buying a secure internet-of-thing (IoT) smart device

IoT devices that are not well protected create various kinds of problems for their owners. Starting from a dust suction robot spying on its owner, smart pet feeders who have many vulnerabilities, set-top boxes stealing accounts and making malicious proxys on your device.

Frauds involving text, images, and fake voice messages can be very effective when used in the elderly, children, or those who do not understand technology.
