Ferrari Executive Targeted By Deepfake Scam: Report
Ferrari Executive Targeted By Deepfake Scam: Report
In a striking incident earlier this month, an executive at Ferrari NV (NYSE:RACE) found himself receiving unusual messages that appeared to be from the company's CEO, Benedetto Vigna.
在本月早些時候，法拉利NV（紐約證券交易所：RACE）的一名高管收到了一些看起來是從公司首席執行官本內代託·維尼亞那裏發來的飛凡信息。
The messages, arriving through WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta Inc. (NASDAQ:META), suggested a major acquisition was in the works and required the executive's assistance.
這些信息是通過元公司（納斯達克股票交易所：META）旗下的WhatsApp發送的，暗示着一項重要的收購正在醞釀中，並需要高管的協助。
The messages purportedly from Vigna had a different phone number and profile picture than usual. Despite the convincing image of the bespectacled CEO in front of Ferrari's prancing-horse logo, the executive grew suspicious.
這些據稱來自維尼亞的信息帶有不同的電話號碼和個人資料圖片。儘管這位戴着眼鏡、站在法拉利馬標Logo前的CEO的形象非常真實，但這位高管變得懷疑起來。
One message urged, "Be ready to sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement our lawyer is set to send you asap," and mentioned that "Italy's market regulator and Milan stock-exchange have been already informed. Stay ready and please utmost discretion," reported Bloomberg.
彭博社報道稱，其中一條信息敦促高管“準備簽署我們的律師儘快發送給您的保密協議”，並提到“意大利的市場監管機構和米蘭證券交易所已經得到通知。保持準備和最大程度的謹慎。”
This was a sophisticated attempt to use deepfake technology to infiltrate Ferrari.
這是一次使用深度僞造技術滲透法拉利的複雜嘗試。
The executive realized something was amiss when he noticed subtle mechanical intonations in the voice and a different phone number.
當高管發現聲音中有微妙的機械音調和不同的電話號碼時，他意識到有些事情不對勁。
Suspicions were confirmed when the imposter could not answer a verification question about a book recently recommended by Vigna, leading to the abrupt end of the call.
當冒名頂替者無法回答有關維尼亞最近推薦的一本書的驗證問題時，這位高管的懷疑得到了證實，通話被突然中斷。

This incident is part of a growing trend where deepfake scams target high-profile executives. Similar tactics were used against WPP PLC (NYSE:WPP) CEO Mark Read in May, though that attempt also failed, according to Bloomberg.
這一事件是深度僞造騙局針對知名高管的不斷增長趨勢的一部分。彭博社稱，類似的策略曾在今年5月襲擊了WPP PLC（紐約證券交易所：WPP）的CEO馬克·裏德，但這次嘗試也失敗了。
"This year we're seeing an increase in criminals attempting to voice clone using AI," said Rachel Tobac, CEO of cybersecurity training company SocialProof Security.
“今年，我們看到犯罪分子試圖使用人工智能進行語音克隆的次數增加了，”網絡安全培訓公司SocialProof Security的首席執行官瑞秋·託巴克說。
While deepfake technology has not yet caused widespread deception, significant losses have occurred. A multinational company in Hong Kong was scammed out of HK$200 million ($26 million) earlier this year through deepfake technology.
雖然深度假像技術還沒有造成廣泛的欺騙，但已經造成了重大損失。今年早些時候，香港一家跨國公司通過深度僞造技術被騙走了2億港元（2600萬美元）。
CyberArk Software (NASDAQ:CYBR), an information security company, is already training its executives to identify such scams.
信息安全公司CyberArk Software（納斯達克股票交易所：CYBR）已經開始培訓其高管識別此類騙局。
"It's just a matter of time before these AI-based deepfake tools become incredibly accurate," warned Stefano Zanero, a cybersecurity professor at Italy's Politecnico di Milano.
意大利米蘭理工大學的網絡安全教授斯特凡諾·扎內羅警告說：“這些基於人工智能的深僞造工具變得無比準確只是時間問題。”
