[Scammers Use Deepfake Video of Cristiano Ronaldo to Promote Cryptocurrency Token USWR]
According to Cryptopolitan, since early July, a deepfake video featuring Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) has been widely circulated on social media. Scammers utilized AI deepfake technology to create a realistic video of Ronaldo, pairing it with fake audio dubbing to make Ronaldo appear to "endorse" a cryptocurrency token called USWR, thereby enticing fans and investors to purchase it.
Cases of crypto scams leveraging celebrity images through deepfake technology are increasingly common. Advances in AI technology have significantly enhanced the realism of fake videos, making it harder for ordinary users to distinguish between real and fake content. Security experts warn that crypto scams are becoming one of the primary application scenarios for deepfake technology. Investors should exercise extreme caution when encountering crypto projects endorsed by celebrities and always verify information through official channels.
