• Abstract: Generative deep learning models are able to create realistic audio and video. This technology has been used to impersonate the faces and voices of individuals. These ``deepfakes'' are being used to spread misinformation, enable scams, perform fraud, and blackmail the innocent. The technology continues to advance and today attackers have the ability to generate deepfakes in real-time. This new capability poses a significant threat to society as attackers begin to exploit the technology in advances social engineering attacks. In this paper, we discuss the implications of this emerging threat, identify the challenges with preventing these attacks and suggest a better direction for researching stronger defences.

  This paper investigates the feasibility of a proactive DeepFake defense framework, em FacePosion, to prevent individuals from becoming victims of DeepFake videos. Based on FacePoison, we introduce em VideoFacePoison, a strategy that propagates FacePoison across video frames rather than applying them individually to each frame. Our method is validated on five face detectors, and extensive experiments against eleven different DeepFake models demonstrate the effectiveness of disrupting face detectors to hinder DeepFake generation.

  Deepfakes of victims or public figures can be used by fraudsters for blackmailing, extorsion and financial fraud. In our research we propose to use geometric-fakeness features (GFF) that characterize a dynamic degree of a face presence in a video. We employ our approach to analyze videos with multiple faces that are simultaneously present in a video.

  Social engineering (SE) is a form of deception that aims to trick people into giving access to data, information, networks and even money. Deepfake technology can be deployed in real-time to clone someone's voice in a phone call or reenact a face in a video call. We propose a lightweight application which can protect organizations and individuals from deepfake SE attacks.

  Deepfakes are videos or images that replace one persons face with another computer-generated face, often a more recognizable person in society. To combat this online threat, researchers have developed models that are designed to detect deepfakes. This study looks at various deepfake detection models that use deep learning algorithms to combat this looming threat.
