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.
在本月早些時候發生的一起驚人事件中，法拉利內華達州（紐約證券交易所代碼：RACE）的一位高管發現自己收到了似乎來自該公司首席執行官貝內代託·****亞的不尋常信息。
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.
這些消息是通過Meta Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：META）旗下的WhatsApp發送的，表明一項重大收購正在進行中，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.
據稱來自Vigna的消息的電話號碼和個人資料照片與平時不同。儘管這位戴眼鏡的首席執行官在法拉利的躍馬徽標前留下了令人信服的畫面，但這位高管還是開始懷疑了。
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.
一條消息敦促說：“準備好簽署我們的律師將盡快發送給你的保密協議”，並提到 “意大利市場監管機構和米蘭證券交易所已經被告知。請做好準備，請謹慎行事。” 彭博社報道。
This was a sophisticated attempt to use deepfake technology to infiltrate Ferrari.
這是一次使用deepfake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.
當這位高管注意到聲音中有微妙的機械語調和不同的電話號碼時，他意識到有些不對勁。
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Vigna最近推薦的一本書的驗證問題，導致通話突然結束時，懷疑得到了證實。

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.
該事件是針對知名高管的deepfake詐騙日益增長的趨勢的一部分。據彭博社報道，5月份對WPP PLC（紐約證券交易所代碼：WPP）首席執行官馬克·雷德也使用了類似的策略，儘管這種嘗試也失敗了。
"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.
網絡安全培訓公司SocialProof Security首席執行官雷切爾·託巴克說：“今年，我們看到試圖使用人工智能進行語音克隆的犯罪分子有所增加。”
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.
儘管deepfake技術尚未造成廣泛的欺騙，但已經造成了重大損失。今年早些時候，香港的一家跨國公司通過deepfake技術被騙走了2億港元（合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（納斯達克股票代碼：CYBR）已經在培訓其高管以識別此類騙局。
"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度僞造工具變得異常準確只是時間問題。”
