Found this video / channel through shorts! Thought you’d like to know 😊 great video

Easy way to protect yourself from impersonation: keep your thick regional accent and local slang.
Makes it much harder for AI to convincingly emulate your diction/lexicon.
Maybe we could see a wider cultural shift towards a less corporate-talk style of communication?

Glad that in Norway we get tons of personal questions just to do anything. Like my bank ask me so much stuff only I whould know its annoying, can’t get anywhere if you don’t answer

[Ciju]

Awesome video, you got my sub! I love stuff like this, its very interesting. Something i try and teach my staff is that vulnerabilities will always occur as long as the human component exists. At some point, even the most alert may fall for a phishing attempt. Someone, is always expecting something: an email, a delivery, an invoice, confirmation code, SOMETHING. If a hacker is good at social engineerings and OSINT, they will find and time these events.

Very interesting & informative video!!
However, I think you really should provide links/URLs to the research articles/papers you show snapshots of and/or cite/reference.

Wouldn't it be easier to just lock the account information behind the customer's security questions? That way an employee can never break policy because they are physically unable to access that information without authentication.

Glad to be a subscriber of your channel ❤

[roamingwolf]

Yes!! You haven't uploaded a video like this in a while. Glad to see material like this being uploaded again ❤

There is a very good historical example from Germany, Friedrich Wilhelm Voigt, better known as "Hauptmann of Köpenick" He put on a uniform and confiscated a fortune

[josephfredbill]

We need deep fake detection tools built in to conferencing, email and media consumption (such as YT) platforms. Thats minimum for now. Ultimately, as fakes improve, that may not be enough.

Having to do 2-step verification when you are Zooming with your colleague is crazy

[HeyItsVictorJr]

@Sumsub !! Very shocking!! Great video 👍

[grumpyoldlady_rants]

Countries world wide need to get serious about AI and how it can and can’t be used and create severe penalties for crimes committed using AI.

[Alpha_Ego]

Amazing content! Keep up the amazing work! We love to know how this stuff works!

[amansaiyed]

Just make a video for Dark net Market ?

[jozefwaldhauser]

This video has so much weird information I can't finish watching this.

[Rosskles]

Don't mind me, just being pedantic.

$26 mill*

I'll be on my way ᕕ( ᐛ ) ᕗ

[WernerBeroux]

26:00 Let's make it mandatory that any face mask must have a clear label, even if you make the mask yourself. Finally a law that'll avoid especially the high profile OSINT attacks! 🙃
No. That law is barely helpful to detect the easiest fakes online. People need to adapt. Banks, CEO, government officials, your mom, you and I need to adapt as the world changes and we need to help each other.

Two keywords to remember: quick and secret

[arcanondrum]

This Channel would do a real service to fan bois! of all ages and genders on what is and is not AI because right now, it is an overused term much like any other Marketing term.
