Artificial intelligence is creating ways to commit fraud on a large scale.

Fake resumes, fake employees: AI amplifying fraud at 'staggering' rate, security watchers warn

OTTAWA — Criminals are harnessing artificial intelligence to defraud Canadians and companies at "staggering" rates never seen before, warn top private sector security officials.

"We've never seen such an increase in fraud as we've seen recently. It is not a linear curve, it is accelerating and accelerating. The threat actors, the people who don't have any values in life and are willing to abuse the elderly, people in need, they are doing it faster, more convincingly and at scale," warned André Boucher, chief technology officer at National Bank.

In recent months, law enforcement agencies across the world have warned of a scam where North Korean agents use AI to create fake IT workers to be hired in remote-work positions in Western organizations. The goal is to steal secrets and money to fund the country's dictatorial regime.

Last week, Microsoft's Threat Intelligence team published a blog post detailing the activity of one such group called "Jasper Sleet" that creates fake IT workers.

"Jasper Sleet has been observed using the AI application Faceswap to insert the faces of North Korean IT workers into stolen identity documents and to generate polished headshots for resumes. In some cases, the same AI-generated photo was reused across multiple personas with slight variations," reads the blog post.

"Additionally, Jasper Sleet has been observed using voice-changing software during interviews to mask their accent, enabling them to pass as Western candidates in remote hiring processes."

The North Korean groups are also using AI to generate realistic profiles of people for specific local markets by offering in-demand skills and certifications in applying for dozens of available jobs en masse.

For Boucher, AI has allowed scammers to create "synthetic human beings" that sound and even look exactly like another person on screen. It's a far cry from the era of spam emails replete with spelling mistakes and grammatical incongruities that made scams more easily detectable.
