North Korean hackers steal $400 million through deepfakes

According to the FBI, North Korean-linked hackers stole more than $400 million in cryptocurrency over the past 18 months through a scam called "FaceStealer." The hackers use artificial intelligence to set up fake video calls, impersonating relatives or business contacts of their victims. Under the guise of resolving a technical issue, they trick victims into downloading malware that steals their data and cryptocurrency. The FBI has also dismantled part of the infrastructure used for these operations.
