Scammers use deepfake video of Cristiano Ronaldo to promote cryptocurrency token USWR

CoinFeed reported on July 9, according to Cryptopolitan, since early July, a deepfake video using the face of Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been widely circulated on social media. Scammers used AI deepfake technology to synthesize a realistic video of Ronaldo, using fake audio dubbing to have Ronaldo 'endorse' a crypto token named USWR, inducing fans and investors to purchase. Such deepfake crypto scams using celebrity images are increasing, and advances in AI technology have significantly improved the authenticity of forged videos, making it increasingly difficult for ordinary users to distinguish truth from falsehood. Security experts warn that crypto scams are becoming one of the main application scenarios of deepfake technology, and investors should be particularly cautious when facing crypto projects endorsed by celebrities, and must verify information through official channels.
