Mars Finance News, according to Protos, scammers are using AI tools to steal cryptocurrencies through deep fakes and wallet drainers. DeFi developer JOE Santoro said that a friend of his recently lost $2 million in a complex deep fake scam. The scammers used an audio deep fake of PLA blockchain founder Paul Faecks to pitch a consulting position to Santoro's friend and tricked the victim into opening a file, thereby obtaining their passwords and private keys. Santoro warned users to isolate cryptocurrencies from daily devices as much as possible.
