An artificially generated face was used to support what looks like a social media cyberespionage operation. ???? https://t.co/1DG8Zf7hc1
For a while now people have been worrying about the threat of “deepfakes,” AI-generated personas that are indistinguishable, or almost indistinguishable, from real live humans. I think I may have caught an example of one in the wild:https://t.co/yvZbK8RoQt pic.twitter.com/4FaNqtivEY

2020 on social networks is going to be interesting. Bad actors can move faster than many companies and don’t have to follow GDPR. https://t.co/qIY3P4OMmM

Last month I my attention was drawn to something suspicious: A fake LinkedIn profile connecting to Washington think tank types and senior US officials.

Even weirder: Her face itself appeared to be fake. https://t.co/yvZbK8RoQt pic.twitter.com/CY85RRznk8
This story is crazy.

We all know foreign spies routinely use fake social media profiles to home in on American targets. Now, China in particular is waging mass scale spying on LinkedIn. They pose as "phantom profiles" as fellow Americans https://t.co/FJ0yWoiGiT

Just a couple weeks ago I created a fake LinkedIn profile, complete with A.I. generated face, and managed to gain nearly 200 connections and 100 skill endorsements. It was incredibly easy.https://t.co/z3o36WO3kA https://t.co/MmMAhfyPlt
James Bond emerges as a major user of AI. LinkedIn has been compromised. You can't make this stuff up: https://t.co/80zBbw5vUe

This pretty woman on LinkedIn who worked at the Heritage Foundation, the Brookings Institute, and who has connections to the Trump Administration is fake. And many more like these are probably being used by foreign spies to catfish for more connections. https://t.co/aBjbJvJvbg

”Instead of dispatching spies to some parking garage in the US to recruit a target, it’s more efficient to sit behind a computer in Shanghai and send out friend requests to 30,000 targets.” #AI #cybersecurity https://t.co/yaKywqnwFy
