Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam
  • A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

  • Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

  • Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

  • The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.

Quick Glance: North Korea Leader's Sister Raises Concerns Over US Military Drills
  • Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, emphasized the need to build a strong military power to protect the country's sovereignty and regional peace.

  • She criticized the US military exercises in the region, particularly the collaboration with South Korea, which she claimed are dangerously destabilizing the regional security environment.

  • The US and South Korea have been conducting a series of drills with greater scale and intensity in recent months to enhance their military readiness against North Korea's threats.

  • North Korea views the US military exercises as preparations for a nuclear war, while Washington and Seoul assert that the drills are defensive in nature and are regularly conducted to maintain readiness.
