Interesting read on how fraudsters are getting fake articles onto Facebook "This is a type of online fraud called "cloaking", whereby malicious adverts are able to get past a social media firm's review stage because the fraudsters have hidden their intensions." "Malicious advertisers may mask web links or impersonate trusted brands such as the BBC to evade online platforms' reporting systems" "When the advert is first placed with Facebook, the link goes through to a harmless page, one that doesn't try to con you out of your cash. But then once this has been approved by Facebook, the fraudsters then put on a redirect that instantly takes people somewhere else - to a web page that very much wants to maliciously dent your bank account." https://lnkd.in/eUPgv6Rs

I believe this approach is fundamentally flawed. In the past, identifying suspects often relied on lineups where victims were asked to "facially recognize" the perpetrator—a method known for its inaccuracy and human biases. Today, we have technology capable of measuring precise facial features like the distances between eyes, mouth, and nose, offering far greater objectivity and accuracy. Yet, some see this as a breach of privacy. But who are we truly protecting here—the wrongdoers or the innocent? I genuinely welcome differing perspectives on this topic. Let’s discuss. https://lnkd.in/g7ZBR5u2

Company leaders - another sign that NOW is the time to revisit your remote DFA procedures (including verifications). This signal: the CEO of the world's biggest advertising firm targeted by a deepfake scam (using a fake WhatsApp account, a voice clone and YouTube footage in a Teams meeting). This made the meeting appear to involve the CEO and another senior WPP exec. While this particular scam did not succeed, you can imagine how it could have. So, again a reminder - dust off your remote DFA procedures, including how you verify the identity of the participants when it seems to be "obvious" to the eye/ear...

There has been a global rise in scams and attempted fraud across the internet. Scammers are relentless and continuously evolve their tactics to try to evade detection. And we’re just as determined to stay ahead of them. That's why we’re beginning to test the use of facial recognition technology to make it harder for scammers to run celeb-bait ads and to make it faster for people to regain access to their hacked accounts. We’re starting small and hope to roll out these protections more widely in the future. 👉🏻 You can read more about our approach here: https://lnkd.in/d6AMMtQW #Scamprotection #facerecognition
