Früher haben wir gefragt, wozu #Bitcoin gut ist: um Lösegeld für #Hacks erbeuten zu können.
Wozu ist #KI gut?
Um #Deepfakes zu erstellen, und damit andere zu bestehlen oder zu manipulieren.
Wenn wir doch nur all unsere Energie für sinnvolle Dinge nutzen würden: Armut bekämpfen, den Hunger auszurotten, unsere Mitwelt zu erhalten, …
"Deepfake fraud has gone “industrial”, an analysis published by AI experts has said.
Tools to create tailored, even personalised, scams – leveraging, for example, deepfake videos of Swedish journalists or the president of Cyprus – are no longer niche, but inexpensive and easy to deploy at scale, said the analysis from the AI Incident Database.
It catalogued more than a dozen recent examples of “impersonation for profit”, including a deepfake video of Western Australia’s premier, Robert Cook, hawking an investment scheme, and deepfake doctors promoting skin creams.
These examples are part of a trend in which scammers are using widely available AI tools to perpetuate increasingly targeted heists. Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership. UK consumers are estimated to have lost £9.4bn to fraud in the nine months to November 2025."

🔥 Latest issue of my curated #cybersecurity and #infosec list of resources for week #06/2026 is out!
This week’s #AI zeitgeist didn’t just spawn memes — it exposed real, systemic risks at the intersection of autonomy, identity, and trust. On one front, a critical vulnerability in the self‑hosted AI assistant #OpenClaw 🦞 (previously Clawdbot/Moltbot) allowed attackers to steal authentication tokens and achieve remote code execution via a single malicious link — a classic web attack chain repurposed against an AI agent ecosystem. The flaw (tracked as CVE‑2026‑25253) hinged on improper origin validation in OpenClaw’s local gateway, letting a crafted page trigger a token leak and session hijack before it was patched.
At the same time, #Moltbook — a Reddit‑style social network exclusively for AI agents — went viral, attracting millions of registered bots and widespread fascination about the idea of autonomous digital actors forming “machine societies.” But the hype masked serious cybersecurity failures: misconfigured backends exposed millions of API keys, agent tokens, and private messages to unauthenticated access, and researchers found prompt injection and bot‑to‑bot social engineering risks that could propagate malicious instructions through the agent population.
These two developments are linked by more than branding. They illustrate a converging threat landscape where:
Autonomous agents operate with deep system access,
Shared agent ecosystems become new attack surfaces, and
Viral prompt sharing and AI‑to‑AI networks can amplify hidden exploits.
It’s a reminder that even as AI autonomy grabs attention, the fundamentals of cybersecurity: protecting data, accounts, and trust boundaries — remain as crucial as ever. Because before we debate sentience, we need to secure the agents we already deployed.

Reality is actively losing the war against deepfakes
The latest Decoder podcast from The Verge explains that current authenticity standards like C2PA — backed by Adobe, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI — are failing in the real world because platforms strip metadata and adoption is inconsistent. That means the tiny “trust signals” we hoped would help users know what’s real vs fake aren’t reliable at scale.

"Inoculation" doesn't just work to protect you against diseases. You can also psychologically prime people against persuasive attacks from media — for example, by explaining to people how deepfakes work. Here's more from @TheConversationUS.
