A video of a daughter crying and asking for help while traveling overseas... It was a DeepFei scam = Korea

There have been cases where DeepFei technology has been used to synthesize children's faces and demand money from their parents. Police are always required to report cases, whether they are actual abductions or phishing scams disguised as abductions.
On the 7th, the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters announced that last month, Kim had used DeepFei technology to create a fake video of a child's face and sent it to the foreign parents, accusing them of "abducting the child."
The target of the phishing crime was a foreigner, and the parents who lived abroad reported that their daughter had locked herself in her room while on vacation in Korea last month.
She received a video of herself crying and asking for help. The perpetrator who sent the video threatened her, saying, "I have kidnapped your daughter. If you want to save her, send me a settlement."
The parents immediately notified the consulate, which then notified the Korean police and confirmed the safety of their daughter, who was traveling.
The video was confirmed to be a fake created using DeepFei technology. Fortunately, no financial damage was caused.
DeepFeiK technology has become so advanced that it is now easy to create DeepFeiK works in everyday life.
The police said that people should be vigilant as related phishing crimes can occur at any time. As of September this year, there have been a total of 174 phishing crimes disguised as kidnappings.
Police said, "Criminal organizations target victims who receive threatening phone calls claiming that their family members have been kidnapped, which makes them hesitant to report the incident. Therefore, whether it is a kidnapping or a phishing scam,
"Even if it is a case of fraud, you should report it to the police," he said. The police said that with the advancement of deep-diving technology, it is difficult even for experts to judge the authenticity with the naked eye, so it is important to report the identity of the person posting it on social media.
They said people should refrain from posting pictures of family members, videos, voices, etc.
