My mother-in-law just called me and asked if she should invest in the "new Bitcoin". She saw a video on FB where a famous Czech actor praised it on a talk show. Clearly a deepfake scam.

And she would definitely do it if she didn't have me. Some time ago I defended ad blockers as tools of online security and this is a real-life example that it's really the case.

Until Google, Meta and others get their act together, their ads should be blocked.

And here is an article on how someone lost $80k to this deepfake scam: https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/krimi-muz-naletel-na-reklamu-falesneho-jakuba-prachare-prisel-o-dva-miliony-40465533

Is he going to bill Meta that has been spreading this scam as a legitimate ad? 🤔
