Make Obscene Videos with AI for Blackmailing
We have seen so much nowadays that cybercriminals are taking the help of artificial intelligence to create obscene videos of innocent young women so that they can blackmail them in order to remove them from varied social media handles and porn sites.
With the assistance of AI, people are now easily able to make such pornographic-like content of common women and make it posted on obscene sites to make these women look down in front of the whole society. Some anti-social elements do these kinds of heinous activities just in order to make themselves repay for some deeds that the anti-social elements think the women have done wrong to them in whatsoever manner.
