What is deepfake and how to secure yourself from deepfake?

Deepfake refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning techniques to create or manipulate media content, often involving the substitution of a person's likeness in videos or images. The term "deepfake" is derived from the combination of "deep learning" and "fake." Deepfake technology uses deep neural networks, particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs), to generate realistic-looking content. GANs consist of two neural networks – a generator and a discriminator – that work together to create and evaluate synthetic data. In the context of deepfakes, the generator creates fake content, such as a video of a person saying or doing something they never did, while the discriminator tries to distinguish between real and fake content. Deepfakes can be created for various purposes, including entertainment, satire, or malicious activities. While they have potential positive applications, such as in the film industry for special e

When a hacker has an unnoticed backdoor on your computer, anything is possible, but there are a few things you can do to minimize the risk of having your keys captured: 🔸 Use antivirus software. While there's not a catch-all solution, and antivirus software won't protect against sophisticated and cutting-edge keyloggers, there's still no excuse for not using antivirus software which protects against most known keylogger software. 🔸 Use on-screen keyboards when entering passwords.One of the limitations of most keyloggers is that they only capture actual keystrokes being pressed on the keyboard. The Windows on-screen keyboard will provide a virtual keyboard that may help circumvent keyloggers. 🔸 Use a firewall. It's possible lazy attackers won't go through the effort of disguising their payloads to appear as being normal DNS (port 53) or HTTP (port 80) transmissions. A firewall might catch suspicious packets leaving your computer on port 35357. 🔸 Protect your comp
