LIVE Webcam Deepfakes Are HERE

The entire internet will be turned into a place of lies to suppress the truth.

LIVE webcam Deepfakes are here. There is now a program (Deep Live Cam) anyone can get that will created a deepfake over you in real time while using a webcam.

The scamming is going to go up big time. And a user that is doing a video conference and not expecting to encounter this technology will be totally oblivious to it. Scammers can hide their real identity behind a dupe, a patsy, someone they can frame, and talk live to people and while no one will be the wiser. Just think about the optimization that will now take place to make it even better than it already is.

FYI: It’s a good time to remove your public facing pictures from the internet so your picture isn’t used to commit a crime.

TL;DR: The internet is hitting a point where nothing can be trusted.

I have to wonder? Is this a feature and not a bug? If you make it so everything is a possible lie on the internet, then anyone bringing the truth (such a citizen journalists) to the internet, will be ignored as a lie.

The kicker… This will be met with some initial shock that will turn to… “Oh well…” I witnessed that reaction when posted Notes and other correspondence on another network, about the massive hack that saw the release of virtually every American’s Name, SS#, address, and any aliases they may use. That’s 2.7 - 2.9 BILLION instances of compromised information from a private background check company that was hacked. The comments were more toward, “What Evs…” instead of, “Shit, how do I freeze my credit so I don’t get taken advantage of???!!!???”

At that point… All I can say is Happy Hunting Hackers.

When the masses take no steps to protect themselves, there is only so much compassion one can have for them. No one ever said the internet was “safe” just like the world out there is not “safe”. Knowing this information and being aware of the dangers is only the first step.

Be ever vigilant.
