Security researchers: Internet nerds will use AI and deepfakes to social engineer people to access and scam innocent people

Internet nerds with AI and deep fakes:

Hello,

vx-underground is down again because our hosting provider is down again.

It'll be fixed when it's fixed.

Thanks,

For our Telegram friends, we've been busy giving stuff away on Twitter for Christmas. However, I still would like to do something for a Telegram giveaway too. I haven't thought of something yet (half of you are probably criminals or internet schizos). But, it's on my todo list.

(this is 90% of our casual conversations)

Hello,

We see your e-mails and DMs. We are drowning in our backlog of stuff to add, giveaways to do, while also trying to be normal people. If you've contacted us we will respond (eventually).

Furthermore, we've noticed a significant increase of people (claiming) to be under the influence of alcohol or narcotics while contacting us. We appreciate your thoughts ... and borderline neurotic rants and "ideas" for us.

Thanks,

This is where it all started.

Shortly following the announcement of the apprehension of Luigi Mangione, the primary suspect in the Brian Thompson assassination, Threat Actors went to work to learn more about the suspect. An unknown Threat Actor weaponized a popular law enforcement software suite to perform a deep-dive into Luigi Mangione. They unveiled Mr. Mangione's:

- Full name
- Date of Birth
- Address history (going back 10 years)
- E-mail address reported to credit bureas
- Social security number
- Family relatives
- Cell phone records (phone number and phone provider).

Additionally, after they successfully retrieved Mr. Mangione's information, they began using the same law enforcement software suite to perform in-depth background checks of Mr. Mangione's family.

Ignore the highlight name.

Some nerd unveiled 1 person is running multiple high-profile and trendy Twitter accounts, making potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

Today Elon Musk's net worth exceeded $400,000,000,000.

To put that into perspective: he almost has as much money as there is Dragon Ball filler episodes.
