MOSCOW, June 1 To recognize a deepfake, during a video call, the user needs to ask the interlocutor to turn his head, bring his hands to his face, or answer an unexpected question, Sergey Golovanov, chief expert of Kaspersky Lab, said in an interview on the eve of SPIEF 2024.
“It is still difficult and expensive to create a high-quality deepfake. For now, the main defense is the vigilance of operators. It is worth paying attention to the quality of the video, possible defects in the image. If the conversation takes place in real time, you need to ask the interlocutor to turn his head from side to side, bring his hands to his face, answer a sudden question, the answer to which will not be the most obvious,” Golovanov said. 
< br />He also commented on the idea of the Bank of Russia, which plans to launch an experiment on the use of video identification of bank clients. Thus, according to the expert, the main potential risk is that this technology will allow “droppers” to quickly open accounts for withdrawing funds as part of fraudulent schemes, since they will not need to go to the bank and open an account in person.
In April, Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Olga Polyakova stated that the regulator plans to launch the possibility of video identification of bank clients this year as part of an experiment. Later, the head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, noted that the technology could be tested for cross-border payments. At the end of May, the head of the department of financial monitoring and currency control of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Yulia Myagkova, announced that a bill on conducting an experiment in Russia on video identification of bank clients had been prepared and was being agreed upon interdepartmentally.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will be held on June 5-8. acts as an information partner of the forum.
