Deepfake Videos Using Slovak Journalist's Likeness Promote Investment Scams

Fraudulent videos created using artificial intelligence are circulating on social media, featuring Monika Tódová, a journalist from Slovak daily Denník N, apparently promoting investment platforms. The deepfake videos also include bank executives, including Tatra Banka CEO Michal Liday, and are designed to exploit public trust in the newspaper to lure people into investment schemes. The fake videos aim to undermine confidence in traditional banking products while promoting alternative investment platforms. Denník N has warned readers not to trust these manipulated videos, which represent a new form of financial fraud targeting Slovak consumers through sophisticated AI-generated content.
