Cybersecurity experts believe that personal information shared on social media and digital platforms has become an easy resource for cybercriminals. In this context, Connecting Cyber ​​Networks (CCN) has emphasized the need to raise awareness about the potential dangers associated with AI and deepfakes. According to the organization, understanding the misuse of technology, along with its benefits, has become essential for today's digital society.

Experts associated with CCN say that a fake identity of a person can be created based on just a few pictures and limited voice samples. According to cybersecurity studies, AI tools can create deepfake videos or voice clones from 3 to 5 clear pictures and a few seconds of audio. In such cases, social media profiles become the biggest source, where users unknowingly make information about their date of birth, location, family, and daily activities public. This information is being used in crimes such as creating fake accounts, online fraud, identity theft, and blackmailing.

Connecting Cyber ​​Networks emphasizes in its training and awareness programs that ordinary internet users can significantly reduce the risk by adopting vigilance in their digital habits. According to the organization, strong privacy settings, limiting the sharing of information, not granting camera or microphone permissions to unknown apps, and staying away from suspicious online trends are crucial. Experts believe that if basic cybersecurity measures are adopted, approximately 70 to 80 percent of digital fraud cases can be prevented.

Established in 2019, Connecting Cyber ​​Networks is a learning and technology services organization that provides practical training on cybersecurity, networking, and emerging technologies. The organization aims to promote technical skills along with digital responsibility and ethical understanding. Amidst advanced threats like AI and deepfakes, CCN believes that awareness, education, and responsible digital behavior are the cornerstones of a secure online future
