AI and Cyber Threats to Watch Out For
Today, AI is used to create deepfakes—manipulated videos or audio that mimic real people to spread misinformation and scams. Additionally, AI has become a key tool for enhancing phishing attacks by generating highly personalized emails or automated real-time chatbots to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or clicking malicious links, leading to data theft and financial losses. Meanwhile, AI-powered malware can infiltrate devices through attachments and links, using machine learning to evade detection, adapt to security measures, and autonomously spread across networks, allowing hackers to control devices or steal confidential data without the victim's knowledge. AI-powered bots and fake accounts on social media also contribute to the spread of misinformation, generating fake trends and making the online space increasingly dangerous.
World ID: The Technology That Proves You're A Real Human
World ID is a digital 'proof-of-human' for the internet that allows individuals to verify they are real, unique humans (and not bots) without revealing personal information. It enhances security and privacy by using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), enabling verification without exposing details like names, phone numbers, or emails. This system helps prevent fake accounts and bots, reducing misinformation and identity fraud. It safeguards personal data from unauthorized access and minimizes the risk of cyber scams, ensuring that you're interacting with real humans online.
Those interested can download the World App via Apple App Store and Google Play Store, schedule an appointment, and visit the World Space pop-up event at CentralWorld from February 17 - March 2, 2025 to verify their humanness and learn more about World ID, free of charge. More World Spaces will follow in the future.
