Who’s REAL?

Deepfakes

A deepfake is a graphical output produced by machine learning. It can be any kind of image: from crude drawings to photo-realistic portraits indistinguishable from reality.

Synthetic fraud

Synthetic fraud utilizes deepfake technology to a wider extent. Fake news, the Pope wearing Balenciaga, or a carefully crafted fake ID are all examples of synthetic fraud.

Deepfake use is on the rise everywhere. In Q1 2023, there were 10% more deepfake attacks than in all of 2022.
