AI-Generated Media Drives Real-World Fraud, Identity Theft, and Business Compromise
Trend Micro uncovers the criminal playbook for deepfake-enabled cybercrime HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 July 2025 - Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today released a new report exposing the scale and maturity of deepfake-enabled cybercrime. As generative AI tools become more powerful, affordable, and accessible, cybercriminals are rapidly adopting them to support attacks, ranging from business fraud to extortion and identity theft. To read the full report, Deepfake it 'til You Make It: A Comprehensive View of the New AI Criminal Toolset, please visit: The report shows how deepfakes have moved beyond hype into real-world exploitation, undermining digital trust, exposing companies to new risks, and accelerating the business models of cybercriminals. Tony Lee, Head of Consulting, Hong Kong & Macau, at Trend:"AI-generated media is not just a future risk, it's a real business threat. We're seeing executives impersonated, hiring processes compromised, and financial safeguards bypassed with alarming ease. This research is a wake up call—if businesses are not proactively preparing for the deepfake era, they're already behind. In a world where seeing is no longer believing, digital trust must be rebuilt from the ground up." The research found that threat actors no longer need underground expertise to launch convincing attacks. Instead, they are using off-the-shelf video, audio, and image generation platforms, many of which are marketed to content creators, to generate realistic deepfakes that deceive both individuals and organizations. These tools are inexpensive, easy to use, and increasingly capable of bypassing identity verification systems and security controls. The report outlines a growing cybercriminal ecosystem where these platforms are used to execute convincing scams, including: CEO fraud has become increasingly harder to detect as attackers use deepfake audio or video to impersonate senior leaders in real-time meetings. Recruitment processes are being compromised by fake candidates who use AI to pass interviews and gain unauthorized access to internal systems. Financial services firms are seeing a surge in deepfake attempts to bypass KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, enabling anonymous money laundering through falsified credentials. The criminal underground is actively trading tutorials, toolkits, and services to streamline these operations. From step-by-step playbooks for bypassing onboarding procedures to plug-and-play face-swapping tools, the barrier to entry is now minimal. As deepfake-enabled scams grow in frequency and complexity, businesses are urged to take proactive steps to minimize their risk exposure and protect their people and processes. This includes educating staff on social engineering risks, reviewing authentication workflows, and exploring detection solutions for synthetic #trendmicro #trendvisionone #visionone #cybersecurity The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

How AI And OSINT Can Help Rebuild Trust In Media
Ivan Shkvarun is the CEO and Co-founder of the data-driven investigation company Social Links (USA). Digital media is facing a trust crisis. According to the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer, media ranks as the least trusted innovation-driving industry, and only 40% of people trust the news they consume. The World Economic Forum's 2024 Global Risks Report even ranked disinformation as the world's top risk in the coming two years. Ironically, the same technology that eroded digital trust—AI—is now being used with open-source intelligence (OSINT) to verify content and rebuild trust online. The Trust Crisis The role of AI in creating and distributing misinformation is hard to ignore. Recently, over 9,000 Facebook pages were removed after Australians lost $43.4 million to celebrity deepfakes. A few other high-profile incidents included AI-generated explicit images of Taylor Swift, a deep fake audio of London Mayor Sadiq Khan criticizing Armistice Day parades and a fake video call resulting in a finance worker transferring $25 million to scammers. Meanwhile, AI can replicate a personality with 85% accuracy in just two hours, raising concerns about digital identity manipulation. Social media platforms do not make the differentiation between a real and AI-generated character easier, either. For example, Meta recently rolled out AI products that let users create characters on Instagram and Facebook, expecting these AI characters to exist like human accounts. The result? Users are skeptical and disengage from platforms. News organizations fight an uphill battle against fake news. Businesses struggle with credibility. Governments face challenges to counteract digital deception and maintain democratic integrity. How AI And OSINT Can Restore Digital Trust Eliminating AI is not the only approach. Instead, it can be used to address the very misinformation it helps create. One way to do this is with OSINT tools. OSINT is a range of methods of gathering and analyzing publicly available data from sources like social media, websites, news reports and forums, aimed at separating facts from fakes. Here are five ways AI and OSINT can help rebuild trust in online platforms: AI can scan vast amounts of content in seconds, identifying misleading narratives before they go viral. OSINT tools look for trending topics, hashtags and unusual activity in real time to detect inconsistencies and provide users with context. When a claim does go viral, OSINT platforms can check it against trusted sources. They can also use reverse image search to see if a photo or video has been reused from an unrelated event. For that reason, OSINT technologies made their way into journalism—for example, major news outlets in Norway are already training journalists in OSINT. Deepfake technology is becoming scarily good. To expose deepfakes, advanced AI algorithms analyze video, audio and images to identify manipulated content through reverse image search, geolocation or shadow analysis. Blockchain-based verification also helps track origins and prevent false information. OSINT can help here by analyzing how accounts behave. As pointed out by DataJournalism, AI tools—along with OSINT verification practices—are a good starting point for detecting deepfakes. Considering the scale of content posted daily, human moderators can't keep up. AI-driven moderation tools can identify and remove hate speech, disinformation and violent imagery—without infringing on free speech. Many OSINT platforms let users set up alerts for specific keywords or topics. If an OSINT technology is built in the AI moderation system and misinformation spikes around a certain issue—like an election, health crisis or war conflict—analysts can act fast. In another example, the United Nations sees a potential of OSINT to monitor the web for keywords and phrases associated with trafficking and smuggling. Many AI systems work like "black boxes," making decisions without explaining how they got there. To rebuild trust, developers need to focus on explainable AI (XAI)—a way to show users why an AI flagged certain content. In the example of identifying DNS attacks, XAI and OSINT improve model explainability. OSINT tools can contribute to making AI more explainable by uncovering digital footprints that justify AI-driven decisions. If an AI-powered content moderating system detects a deepfake video, OSINT can trace the source, compare metadata and uncover inconsistencies, explaining the decision. AI's impact on digital trust isn't just a tech issue—it's a policy challenge. Together, governments, researchers and tech companies must set ethical standards (but not the rules) for how AI is built and used. AI ethics committees, independent audits and cross-platform verification systems can help hold AI accountable. By providing a "source of truth," OSINT technologies can support those initiatives in building digital trust. OSINT Limitations And Concerns OSINT is useful, but it comes with strings attached. A single tweet or forum post may be harmless, yet when combined with hundreds of data scrapes, it can form a dataset that feels like surveillance or a specific individual profile. Data noise and overload is another concern. Public feeds overflow with outdated links and hoax data. We've all seen the dramatic but fake 'war footage,' showing how easy it is to misinterpret—or weaponize public information. Without a habit of double-checking sources, analysts can end up spreading the very myths they set out to debunk—especially when recommendation engines keep shoving the same false story back in front of them. On the legal side, gray areas exist. Governments still argue over how much scraping or archiving is fair play, and even U.S. agencies have paused OSINT projects after civil-liberties pushback and lack of guidance. Privacy laws shift from one border to the next, complicating cross-border investigations, as what is legal in Berlin may lead to a lawsuit in Boston. Bottom line: Good OSINT is not plug-and-play. It needs scrapers, data dashboards, proxy networks—and people who know how to use them without breaking platform rules or local regulations. OSINT works best when paired with governance, audit trails and human oversight. Conclusion The future of digital trust depends on how we use AI—not whether we use it. Prioritizing ethical AI and transparent decision-making will be crucial in restoring trust in digital platforms. But if we succeed, we won't just restore trust, we'll set new standards.

100 Years of DEKRA: Safety in a Changing World
Expert Organization Celebrates Centennial STUTTGART, Germany, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 30, 2025, DEKRA celebrated its 100th anniversary – with a clear focus on the future. What began in 1925 with voluntary vehicle inspections is now a global expert organization for safety, sustainability, and digital trust. On its centennial, DEKRA reaffirms its commitment to tackling the major challenges of our time – in line with its anniversary motto: "Securing the Future." DEKRA was founded on June 30, 1925, in Berlin as the "Deutscher Kraftfahrzeug-Überwachungs-Verein" (German Motor Vehicle Inspection Association) – at a time when the automobile was beginning to reshape the world. Its mission: voluntary technical inspections to bring safety to a new era of mobility. A century later, this initiative has evolved into a global expert organization with 48,000 employees in around 60 countries – all pursuing one clear goal: enabling safety and trust in a changing world. What began in 1925 with vehicle inspections has grown into a comprehensive portfolio across mobility, industry, environment, and digital technologies. DEKRA tests both physical and digital products, processes, and systems. "Safety is not static – it evolves with the world we live in," says CEO Stan Zurkiewicz. "Our task is to help shape key areas of transformation – mobility, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and sustainability – with expertise, responsibility, and foresight." Shaping Germany – Expanding Globally DEKRA's history is marked by constant progress. When periodic vehicle inspections became mandatory in Germany in 1951, DEKRA played a key role in their implementation. The 1960s and 1970s brought a focus on education and research, including the founding of DEKRA Akademie (1974), the Research and Development department (1968), and Accident Research (1978) – the latter with the aim of learning from data. After German reunification, DEKRA took over responsibilities from the former East German vehicle authority and built a comprehensive inspection network in the new federal states. Shortly thereafter, the company entered international markets, including France, Spain, China, and the United States. Since then, DEKRA has pursued a globally focused strategy – while maintaining strong roots in its home market of Germany. New Fields – Same Mission: Safety in Transition Starting in the mid-2000s, DEKRA systematically expanded its competencies in industrial inspection, infrastructure, and environmental technologies – with the founding of DEKRA Industrial GmbH as a major milestone. In 2017, the acquisition of the Lausitzring racetrack in Brandenburg, Germany, marked an important step toward future mobility. Together with the neighboring DEKRA Technology Center, it now forms Europe's largest independent test center for automated and connected driving – a symbol of mobility transformation and the safe, responsible implementation of new technologies. Today, DEKRA's scope ranges from AI validation and cybersecurity to hydrogen safety and sustainability certifications. The common thread remains: building trust where transformation happens. Testing Expertise for Tomorrow's World "Digitalization, connected systems, and artificial intelligence are increasingly shaping our everyday lives – at home, on the road, and in the workplace. To fully harness their potential and drive innovation, we must understand their risks and manage them effectively. Only then can we truly trust them," says Petra Finke, Chief Digitalization Officer at DEKRA. "Safety is the foundation for that trust. That's why we've developed an integrated testing approach that combines functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI validation." DEKRA bundles these services under the term Digital Trust Services. This means the organization doesn't just assess whether software or systems function properly and pose no danger to users – it also examines whether they are resilient against cyberattacks, transparent in their decision-making logic, and ethically sound in their use of AI. "At DEKRA, we view digitalization not only from a technical angle but also strategically – as a driver for more efficient processes, intelligently connected data, and new, trustworthy services, both internally and externally," Finke adds. Global Growth with Focus – People at the Center DEKRA is also expanding its geographical footprint in future-relevant markets. "We are making targeted investments in regions where transformation is tangible – in Asia, North America, and Europe," says Peter Laursen, Chief Operating Officer for DEKRA's global regions. "These are the places where new technologies, new industries, and new safety requirements are emerging. And we want to help shape that future – not just respond to it." At the same time, DEKRA's operational backbone – such as vehicle inspection, industrial inspection, product testing, and audits – remains central. "These are our core services, where we also see great growth potential," Laursen continues. However, sustainable growth in new markets requires more than technology – it needs people who understand and drive change. "The future is not decided by technology alone – but by people who use it responsibly," emphasizes Chief Financial Officer and Head of Human Resources Wolfgang Linsenmaier. "That's why we are consistently investing in employee development, strengthening leadership, and fostering digital skills at all levels." DEKRA is also modernizing internal structures – with clearer career paths, more efficient systems, and a globally connected HR approach. The goal: a learning, values-based organization with strong customer focus. UNICEF Partnership: Securing Water Means Securing the Future As part of its centennial, DEKRA is also breaking new ground in social responsibility – through a partnership with UNICEF for the Water Security for All initiative. Together, the two organizations are implementing programs to provide access to clean drinking water in regions highly affected by climate change – including solar-powered water pumps, technical training centers, and modern groundwater treatment. "Water is essential for life – and increasingly scarce," says CEO Zurkiewicz. "Our partnership with UNICEF demonstrates what 'Securing the Future' means to us: the future begins with responsibility – for products and systems, but above all, for people." The centennial is being celebrated in Berlin, DEKRA's founding location, with partners from business, politics, and society. About DEKRA For 100 years, DEKRA has been a trusted name in safety. Founded in 1925 with the original goal of improving road safety through vehicle inspections, DEKRA has grown to become the world's largest independent, non-listed expert organization in the field of testing, inspection, and certification. Today, as a global partner, the company supports its customers with comprehensive services and solutions to drive safety and sustainability forward—fully aligned with DEKRA's anniversary motto, "Securing the Future." In 2024, DEKRA generated revenue of 4.3 billion euros. Around 48,000 employees are providing qualified and independent expert services in approximately 60 countries across five continents. DEKRA holds a Platinum rating from EcoVadis, placing it among the top 1% of the world's most sustainable companies.
