The advancement of artificial intelligence technologies brings with it new-generation threats. ROKETSAN, one of Turkey's leading defense industry companies, recently issued a critical public warning against the increasing number of AI-powered fraud videos.

This warning specifically drew attention to the 'deepfake' method, where the voices and images of individuals or institutions are manipulated using AI to create highly realistic fake videos. Fraudsters use these videos to deceive citizens, attempting to obtain financial or personal information.

Measures Against AI Fraud

• Verify Authenticity: Always confirm the source of suspicious video or audio messages. Do not trust information that does not come from official channels.
• Skeptical Approach: Be extremely skeptical of calls, messages, and videos, especially those requesting money transfers or personal information.
• Awareness: Educate yourself and those around you about the current state and potential dangers of deepfake technologies.
• Report to Authorities: In case you encounter any attempt at fraud, immediately report it to law enforcement units or relevant official institutions.

ROKETSAN's warning is crucial for increasing cybersecurity awareness and ensuring citizens are better prepared against potential digital threats.
