Description

This week we start with Joseph's investigation into OnlyFake, an underground website that lets anyone generate convincing photos of fake IDs at the click of a mouse. Joseph successfully used one of these to bypass the identity verification process at a cryptocurrency exchange. This really will have massive implications for crime and cybersecurity more generally. After the break, we have a double feature with a story about AI audio porn and then a likely low tech response to the ongoing deepfake crisis. In the subscribers-only section, Emanuel tells us about how he investigated the Instagram ad to investment scam pipeline.Inside the Underground Site Where ‘Neural Networks’ Churn Out Fake IDs‘Neural Network’ Fake ID Site Goes Dark After 404 Media InvestigationAI-Generated Grandma Porn Is Flooding the Internet‘DignifAI:’ 4chan Is Editing Pictures to Clothe WomenFake Bill Ackman and Jim Cramer Instagram Ads are Trying to Take My MoneySubscribe at 404media.co for access to bonus content.
