Thomas Roccia :verified:🎁 GenAI x Sec Advent #10Sora, the video generator, has just been released, so I think this is a good opportunity to discuss about influence operations through the usage of Generative AI!☠️ We’ve already seen threat actors leveraging GenAI for misinformation that fuels disinformation campaigns, erodes trust, and amplifies societal divides. Some recent examples such as Russian Threat Actor Storm-1679 spreading misinformation powered by GenAI during the Olympic Games in Paris (<a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/06/02/russia-cyber-bots-disinformation-2024-paris-olympics/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/06/02/russia-cyber-bots-disinformation-2024-paris-olympics/</a>) or the Iranian Threat Actor Storm-2035 influencing the US election using AI-enabled services to plagiarize content (<a href="https://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/content/microsoftcorp/microsoft/final/en-us/microsoft-brand/documents/5bc57431-a7a9-49ad-944d-b93b7d35d0fc.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/content/microsoftcorp/microsoft/final/en-us/microsoft-brand/documents/5bc57431-a7a9-49ad-944d-b93b7d35d0fc.pdf</a>).In the paper "Generative AI Misuse: A Taxonomy of Tactics and Insights from Real-World Data", ten distinct tactics have been identified: 👇1️⃣ Impersonation: Assume the identity of a real person to act on their behalf. 2️⃣ Appropriated Likeness: Use or alter a person's likeness or identifying features. 3️⃣ Sockpuppeting: Create synthetic online personas or accounts. 4️⃣ NCII: Generate non-consensual intimate imagery using someone's likeness. 5️⃣ CSAM: Create child sexually explicit material 6️⃣ Falsification: Fabricate or falsely represent evidence, reports, or documents. 7️⃣ IP Infringement: Use someone’s intellectual property without permission. 8️⃣ Counterfeit: Reproduce or imitate original work, brand, or style to pass as real. 9️⃣ Scaling & Amplification: Automate, amplify, or scale workflows. 🔟 Targeting: Refine outputs to craft highly tailored attacks.These tactics are not new, but GenAI lowers the barriers, it makes them easier, faster, and more scalable than ever.I think the implications are beyond democracy, freedom, and security. They challenge trust in information, fuel economic harm through scams and counterfeits, intensify social polarization, and even threaten psychological well-being.What do you think? Are we facing another turning point where technology redefines trust and societal norms? 🤔Also are we really running in a simulation? 😁 (The video has been generated with Sora) <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Genai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genai</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/influenceOperation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#influenceOperation</a>

David August ❌👑"'Today marks two weeks since I submitted the invoice for August. Any idea for the delay?
