This is a PPT of SOCIAL MEDIA THREATS AND THEIR PREVENTION. This is help full for learning. Thanks. Social media offers an outlet for people to connect, share life experiences, pictures and video. But too much sharing—or a lack of attention to impostors—can lead to a compromise of business and personal accounts. Attackers often use social media accounts during the reconnaissance phase of a social engineering or phishing attack. Social media can give attackers a platform to impersonate trusted people and brands or the information they need carry out additional attacks, including social engineering and phishing.

8.  Some dangerous sub type social
media threats
1. Catfishing
Catfishing refers to when a person takes information and images,
typically from other people, and uses them to create a new
identity for themselves. In some cases, a catfisher steals another
individual’s complete identity including their image, date of
birth, and geographical location and pretends that it is their own.
The catfisher then uses this identity to trick other people into
associating with them or doing business online.

9. 2. Cyberbullying
It is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Online threats and
mean, aggressive, or rude texts, tweets, posts, or messages all count. So does posting personal
information, pictures, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass someone else.

10. 3. Identity Theft?
Identity theft is the crime of obtaining the personal or financial
information of another person to use their identity to commit
fraud, such as making unauthorized transactions or purchases.
Identity theft is committed in many different ways and it`s
victims are typically left with damage to their credit, finances,
and reputation.

12.  How do scammers generate scamming
links
There are a lot of ways to generate the scamming links
but here I have one of the methods (tool) how
scammers create fishing links.
Blackeye is an open-source pen-testing tool
intended for simulating credential harvesting
phishing attacks. The goal is to show how easily
this type of attack can be done by someone with
little to no technical experience as well as make
others more aware of this type of attack.

13. How it works:-
Blackeye has 39 templates for hosting
a fake website. These templates span
many of the most popular services on
the internet such as social media,
banking, etc. Each template contains
everything needed to host the fake
website. This includes the necessary
HTML files as well as scripts to run on
the hosted site. The screenshots below
show the scripts that grab the victim’s
IP address, user agent, and credentials
(in this case the scripts are for the fake
Snapchat website template).

14.  Conclusion
The conclusion of this presentation is there are a lot of threats like cyberbullying,
catfishing, identify theft and fishy link scam the users should be aware of these
threats and their preventions

Front-end Development: The front-end is the
visible part of the website or web application
responsible for the user interactions. And, you
only interact with the front part of the web
application using web browsers.
Back-end Development: The back-end focuses on
how the website works. It runs queries and
presents you with the desired data.
There are verities of programming languages used
for the front end and back end web developing but
mostly Python and PHP is used for backend web
developing and for front end developing HTML
and CSS.

2. How artificial intelligence is used as a social threats

 Privacy, security and deepfakes
3. Cases of Artifical intelligence threats Occurred

23. 2. How artificial intelligence is used as
a social threats
Abuse of data is a huge possibility since both data
and AI tools are in the hands of a select few.
Unless values and ethics are built into digital
systems, decisions made by AI algorithms will
favor only selected parties. Privacy and power are
being handed over to digital tools over which very
few people have any control.
for an example I`ll just give few examples that
when we like create G-mails or create social
accounts on different apps our data is in hands of
that Ai of application or web that is controlled by a
person or an organization.
 Abuse of data and loss of control

24.  Privacy, security and deepfakes
Audio and video deepfakes are already gaining ground.
Video deepfakes are being successfully used in the
advertising world, making it difficult to differentiate
between real and virtual. Social media personalities could
be easily engineered to influence sections of society.
Similarly, audio clips of influential people can be
manipulated and misused.

25.  Kerala man loses ₹40k to AI-enabled deep-
fake fraud
3. Cases of Artificial intelligence threats Occurred
A 73-year-old man in India fell victim to a deepfake scam
after receiving a call from someone impersonating his
former colleague and asking for money. The scammer
used deepfake technology to create a video call in which
the impersonator's face and voice matched the victim's
former colleague. The victim transferred money before
realizing he had been tricked. Police have traced the
money to an account in Maharashtra and are investigating
further. This is the first reported case of a deepfake scam
in India.

26.  Conclusion
So from this presentation we conclude that Artificial intelligence is also a social threat to our
society and we should use or Share our information with precautions.

28. 1. How AI creates deepfakes of audio and video
 Usually we all know that The voiced speech of
a typical adult male will have a fundamental
frequency from 85 to 155 Hz, and that of a
typical adult female from 165 to 255 Hz. So
what happens is the ai takes an audio input
anylizies it`s frequency like (pitch of an audio)
and at our command it generates similar type
frequency voice that given as input.
 As for fake video generating the AI focuses on
the facial structural of the input given and
visualizes it as an output video the output may
be different depending upon the algorithms
provided.
