LOS ANGELES - The FBI says scammers are using deep fake technology in order to apply to remote tech jobs. According to the FBI’s latest announcement on their Internet Crime Complaint Center, more and more companies have been reporting people applying to jobs using images, video, and recordings that have been manipulated to look like someone else.

Deepfakes are described by Microsoft as "photos, videos or audio files manipulated by artificial intelligence (AI) in hard-to-detect ways."The most common deepfakes – a word that combines computational deep learning and fake – replace the real person in a video with someone else.

And they can be used very effectively to make it look like someone, typically a famous person, is saying and doing something they never said or did.

Or used as blackmail in a deepfake pornography scheme.Typically, deepfake videos are created using facial mapping and artificial intelligence to create eerily similar digital mockups of a person to impersonate their identity.Deepfake videos have already been flagged as a growing threat to America’s national security when a House Intelligence Committee hearing in 2019 served up a public warning about the deceptive powers of artificial intelligence software.The warning by the House committee came after a crudely altered video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., which at the time was viewed millions of times on social media, showed the politician slurring her words.

Focus on accelerating second and precaution doses of covid-19 vaccination: Centre to states
NEW DELHI : Amid the surge of covid cases in some parts of the country, the Centre on Tuesday has directed States and UTs to focus on accelerating second and precaution doses of COVID-19 vaccination.  Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary reviewed the status of COVID situation through a video conference (VC) with 14 such States that are reporting high number of cases on a week-to-week basis along with increased case positivity combined with low numbers of COVID tests and below average COVID vaccination.  He advised caution and continuous alertness to States reporting a surge in COVID cases during the past few weeks, and to step up vigil against COVID.  The four-fold strategy highlights surveillance of incoming inter-national travelers; community-based surveillance; sentinel site surveillance (health facility-based surveillance and lab-based surveillance); and Whole Genome Sequencing.  States were advised to scan for and report all SARI and ILI cases from all district hospitals, major private hospitals and medical colleges across the districts, and keep a close watch on those geographies where these clusters are emerging.  “States were also strongly advised to strictly monitor epidemiological profile of admitted COVID patients and report the clinical manifestation to Health Ministry, rather than a random or anecdotal reporting.
