๐ This international online training event is all about boosting global cyber resilience. As AI and automation rapidly evolve, cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and dangerous. Hackers now have cutting-edge tools to breach security faster than ever, meaning we must adapt and stay ahead to keep safe. ๐ก๏ธ
๐ Deepfake Scams: A Real Threat One alarming example is the recent deepfake scam where hackers used AI to mimic a CEO’s voice, tricking employees into transferring $243,000 to a fraudulent account. ๐ฑ As AI technology advances, these scams will become harder to detect, making events like Cyber Polygon even more essential.
So, what can we do? ๐ค
Whether for business or personal matters, consider using password phrases or a challenge-response system when discussing sensitive topics, like transferring money. ๐ฐ This works like those old spy movies, ensuring you’ve properly identified the person you’re communicating with. Choose something uniqueโdonโt use a phrase from a video game, movie, or meme! ๐ฎ๐ฅ
Example:
You get a call about a sensitive topicโbefore taking action, say:
Challenge: โMountains are taller in winter winds.โ
Expected Response: โBooks open doors to hidden worlds.โ
๐ Tip: Donโt use this exact exampleโcreate something unique, and share it in person! not over the phone, messaging or email…
