Deepfake services are being offered for cheap on the darknet

Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) has discovered real-time deepfake video and audio generation services being offered at low prices on the darknet, raising major concerns.

Starting prices are reportedly around $50 for fake videos and $30 for fake voice messages, and can go higher depending on the complexity and length of the content.

According to Kaspersky, deepfake services on the darknet were previously "offered" for between $300 and $20,000 per minute. This service helps bad guys create fake audio and video in real time, including dangerous types of fakes: changing faces (face swapping) during video calls on online conference platforms or messengers, "changing" faces for authentication, as well as faking camera sources on devices.

Some ads even claim to provide software that synchronizes a person’s facial expressions in a video with their voice, even in a foreign language. They also sell voice cloning tools, which allow you to mimic a voice and adjust its pitch and tone to express different emotions.

“We have not only seen advertisements offering deepfake services, but also noticed an increase in the demand for these tools,” said Dmitry Galov, Head of Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team in Russia and the CIS.

To protect against deepfake threats, Kaspersky recommends that businesses deploy full cybersecurity measures and have a team of experts who understand deepfake. The ability to recognize typical signs of deepfake such as jerky, unsmooth movements, inconsistent lighting between frames, unnatural skin tones, unusual or infrequent blinking, distorted images, etc.
