Decrypt: US officials state FaceStealer stole $400 million in crypto assets via deepfake video calls
According to Decrypt, citing disclosures by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI, an operation dubbed FaceStealer has used pre-recorded videos and AI deepfakes of trusted contacts to trick crypto industry workers into installing malware during video calls. U.S. authorities have attributed approximately $400 million in theft losses to the operation. The report also noted that the DOJ is seeking to seize $1.2 billion in connection with the Binance hacking case; seeking seizure does not mean the funds have been recovered or returned to users, and the two figures cannot be directly added together as newly added losses for this incident.
