The famous **ZachXBT** known as a blockchain detective recently warned through X (formerly Twitter) about sophisticated virtual asset scams using AI.
Here is a summary of the relevant information in English.
🚨 Warning about coin scams using AI-generated fake personas
ZachXBT revealed that an account posing as **'Dr. Jihoon Park'** (@Jihooncrypto) was actually a fake identity generated by AI. They are deceiving investors in the following ways:
1. Establishing sophisticated fake profiles
Genius image: The account claimed that Dr. Jihoon Park is a genius expert with **'IQ 312'**, thus building credibility.
Network operation: Instead of a single account, they organized a network of multiple accounts to systematically spread fake news and conduct promotions.
2. Main targets and risks
AI-based information manipulation: By perfectly fabricating a non-existent person through AI, they made users mistakenly believe they were dealing with a real expert.
Targeting vulnerable groups: ZachXBT pointed out that particularly the older generation, who are less familiar with technological changes, are more easily exposed to and harmed by this AI-based false information and scams.
3. Implications
This incident suggests that if AI technology is misused in the virtual asset market, it can create intelligent 'fake news' and 'fake authorities' that go beyond simple spam.
Note: Experts advise that special caution is needed regarding accounts that boast high returns or outstanding credentials while soliciting investments on social media.
Recently, scams involving 'deepfake' technology that even forges voices and videos are increasing. Do you need a specific checklist to identify such scam accounts? If you want, I can organize one for you.$BTC
