"Cyber Mirage: Realtime Deepfake Video & Voice Cloning for Offensive Security Engagements"
Speakers: Brandon Kovacs, Senior Security Consultant - Red Team
Abstract: The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the landscape of social engineering and given rise to a new class of AI-powered cyber threats. In 2024, a finance professional at a global corporation in Hong Kong was deceived into transferring $25 million to scammers, who leveraged deepfake and voice-cloning technology to impersonate the company's chief financial officer on a video conference call. This talk aims to illuminate the sophisticated capabilities that AI brings to the table in creating hyper-realistic deepfakes and voice clones. Through a captivating live demonstration, we will showcase real-time AI-powered deepfake and voice cloning technologies and demonstrate how they can be used by offensive cybersecurity professionals to conduct highly effective social engineering attacks. This discussion will emphasize the critical need for the development of more sophisticated defense mechanisms to mitigate the risks posed by these rapidly evolving AI-based cyber threats.
