so good afternoon oh good to see so much
of energy okay so after listening to my
talk probably you would say that this
man came to scare you or things like
that but honestly I'm not over here to
scare you I'm just here to put a little
fear in you okay and the reason is
because we have been very very careless
with our devices with our smartphones
even when we have been on dating apps
also and that has resulted in we
becoming victims of phishing phishing
romance scams revenge pornography
bullying sextortion and a lot more so
here when we are talking about the
unseen I also want to tell you about our
technologies the technologies in the
cyber space and what we had unseen what
were the KVS then which has led to some
of these crimes these crimes probably
are unseen unheard or maybe unknown so
let's have a look at them now you know
while growing up I came across fake
products fake companies and fake
currency and of course a lot many of
fake people with their fake smiles but
now we are in the age where we get fake
emails we are getting fake websites
where and all sorts of phishing scams
are done we are having like fake
messages coming on our whatsapp I want
to show you something which is
completely falsified which is something
that was really very hard to believe and
I thought no technology couldn't have
gone this forward so can I just show you
a small video here's how to make a
perfect por ver coffee first
this is Jane Jane is a deep fake deep
fakes are realistic ai generated videos
that show real people
doing and saying fictional things we're
entering an era in which our enemies can
make it look like anyone is saying
anything at any point in time even if
they would never say those things so for
instance they could have me say things
like I don't know kill monger was right
or Ben Carson is in the sunken place or
how about this simply President Trump is
a total and complete now you see
I would never say these things at least
not in a public address but someone else
would someone like Jordan Peele this is
a dangerous time moving forward we need
to be more vigilant with what we trust
from the internet at a time when we need
to rely on trusted news sources and I
you observe eco guilty a vav- person so
then bill Jesse Reid um greetings to
friends I'm here just to ask about the
work accounted for sorry on a mirage a
cd-rom those two massive concur so here
we have falsified manipulated videos
these are nothing but defects they are
created using artificial intelligence
and deep learning these videos are
created using the technology of
artificial intelligence and deep
learning
they're absolutely falsified when you
saw those videos did you think they were
dubbed or they were digitally altered no
not at all so d fates are such kind of
manipulated videos where you make
someone say or do things which he
actually never said or never did while
it will be great when we will or it will
be great for like you know movies and TV
shows and all where and you wouldn't be
required dubbing but just imagine the
consequences it would have so just for
example you receive a video on your
whatsapp where in the Prime Minister say
that the two thousand rupee notes will
be banned from tonight such is the power
of such defects that they they can put
words in anybody's mouth and you would
not be even able to like notice you you
will try to find oh if this is lip-sync
or if it is a mimicry artist behind or
it is dub no not at all now so just
imagine now in this particular age where
in like even the images cannot be
trusted so just imagine you get a video
someday of a of a journalist who's
generally found shouting and yelling and
he's speaking softly politely that day
the nation should know that this is not
an original video but is a deep freak
now let's move to the next a very novel
method of a cyber crime you know we've
all heard of John Terra the criminals
you know the cyber criminals in John
Terre you must have received a lot of
wishing calls and they would have tried
to trick you too for you to reveal your
debit credit card details but here
artificial intelligence has gone one
step ahead
a British CEO received a call from his
German boss and the German boss tells
him can you please transfer immediately
two hundred and forty three thousand US
dollars which is approximately 1.75
crores
he does that because its boss is saying
so he's on the call with this boss this
is not like a fake email however was it
his boss at the other end no was it some
kind of a person who could mimic the
voice of that boss no this was an
artificial intelligence generated a deep
fake voice which was being read out by a
fraudster which was being manipulated by
a was a fraudster and the German voice a
boss's voice was poof
in fact the British CEO said how could
it be because the one talking to me had
the German accent and even he had that
melodious voice which I always
recognized but friends this was
completely AI generated so these have
been the caveat of when we have
developed technologies of course they
have brought us a lot of laurels they
have helped us a lot but we also need to
see this side of it now so in the age of
Photoshop where everything can be
manipulated we also will have to pay
attention that audio calls speeches
voices can also be fade now that I'm
talking to you about Photoshop we have
seen that women have been victims of a
lot many crimes such as morphing and
sextortion unfortunately there's one
more such technology deep nude which is
again targeting the women here is the
artificial intelligence technology or
technology which takes the photograph of
a complete of a woman who's completely
clothed she's she's not at all or she is
not nude at all and within seconds it is
able to create the same image of that
particular same women but without
clothes of women all over the world have
always been harassed have been
intimidated but it's so unfortunate that
we are now using technologies to now
again target them and yes I say target
them for the only reason that this
technology that this particular deep
nude app or software can do this work
only and only for women it creates a if
you poster a photograph of a men it is
not going to work so it is so
unfortunate that doesn't mean that you
men should be relieved probably by the
time I reach back to Mumbai there would
be something ready for men also taking
forward so let's now leap into the
future also so these were the three
crimes which are currently existing
which I thought are like unseen unheard
and unknown and now going into the
future of the cyber crimes you know we
were talking about privacy Oh outside
while we were having coffee yes privacy
is as extinct as dinosaurs are in fact
coming to you know when we are going to
go again in 2050 s what will happen is
that the computers will be 30,000 times
faster than us we will be having you
know assistants who won't be humans they
will be the digital assistants there
will be human-like assistants who could
be our servants as such there will be
robos robos will be constructing like
buildings big big buildings there will
be robos who will be conducting who will
be constructing such bare buildings and
that too within us so just imagine a
malware attack on all these robots what
can happen you might find this to be a
very far-fetched reality but no didn't
you hear about the attacks that happened
to the state of Florida for three whole
weeks the state was down they couldn't
operate their water pumps they were not
able they were struggling with their
electricity generators also their
billing systems were down and this is
exactly what happened over there the
ransomware
took over the entire city so just
imagine when a malware attack when a
virus attack as you commonly call it
attacks all these robos or our digital
assistants what is that is going to
happen we heard in the first session
about driverless cars sure is going to
be great there are no two doubts about
it we are looking forward for it but
again let's look at one particular care
get in it the driverless cars are made
more of the algorithms than they are
made of of the moving
but and for this the hackers are going
they already started work as to how to
hack them how to get into them so that
they are these all these AI based
technologies or all these applications
they work on something called as models
or data sets now by poisoning this model
what I can do is I can make the car
actually speed up when it is supposed to
stop because you know the car is trained
to stop and it sees the stop sign or a
red signal but I can poison the database
and this can go at high speeds I can ask
it I can I can make that car turn left
instead of it going right so these are
some of the things that will happen in
fact the hacker will be able to control
it the way we control drones today you
know but for a drone we have like a
handheld device the same thing the
hacker will be having some sort of a
handle device maybe his smartphone where
he'll be able to just operate it the way
he operates a drone talking about drones
drones are of course going to be great
they're going to be delivering to us
pizzas foods groceries and whatnot even
medicines but the issue for the
countries is going to be drone swarms
now what are drone swarms these are
flock of drones which means around about
40 50 hundred of them so do you think we
will need 100 kind of gadgets to operate
these drones are 100 controllers no
these will be AI based drones they will
be they will operate autonomously which
means they don't need any instruction
they know when to fly they know how high
to fly they know how low to fly they
also know when they are supposed to drop
a bomb they also know when they're
supposed to shoot down a particular
thing they can the master drone can tell
let's fall our drones now some of you go
to the left some of you go ahead some of
you stay low or - normally like the way
so
Berthe can communicate with each other
these runes can do that imagine an
adversary a hacker taking control of the
swarm drones he can then do some things
like these he can ask the drones to
shoot themselves down he can ask the
drones to take a lot of photographs
which are hovering over a nuclear plant
which are actually protecting it to send
these photographs to the foreign country
or to the competitor things so this is
how drones and all other technologies
there are no two doubts we should
welcome all these technologies because
of these technologies we have gone so
far ahead but we need to keep these Kiwi
ads in mind I have a few minutes left so
I want to tell you what we can start
doing from today and the reason that we
need to start doing from today because
had we taken care of certain things few
years back we wouldn't have been talking
about all these cyber crimes and we
wouldn't have been victims of these
particular cyber crimes small small
things need to be taken care of for
example now you the young generation
who's there you are going to develop
products or you are going to be the CEOs
of the company or you may be buying the
products whatever technology you adopt
make sure there is privacy by default
there is privacy by design there is
security by default and security by
design which means when you open a
facebook profile what used to happen
earlier your profile was public now
that's not privacy by default but today
when you open a new account on Facebook
it's already private this is called as
privacy by design same way security by
design
haven't you seen some pause devices when
you go to restaurants and all some of
them are now getting covered so they
can't see your PIN the waiter who's
there is not able to see your PIN as
such so that is something called as
privacy by design we're in the what
no person or security by design wherein
they are not able to see what your
engine we are handing over our gadgets
to our little ones at a very very small
age probably because when they are not
eating we are just telling them eat hold
this gadget isn't it important that when
they are able to hold this particular
gadget and use this gadget
shouldn't we be imparting cybersecurity
training to them shouldn't be we be
creating awareness so it's very
important that we as parents tell our
schools
please start the cybersecurity education
right from their childhood it's
extremely important to do so then have
we ever demanded about privacy laws from
our government we are already in the
year 2020 and we still don't have a
privacy law although I expect that in
the monsoon session we will be having
the Privacy Act coming getting enforced
very soon but we need to have such
sustainable privacy laws recently a
whole lot of medical data was
compromised in Mumbai city did even a
single patient speak about it no we do
not make people accountable and this is
what we need to change small things in
terms of cyber hygiene you have no idea
that while you were your your mobile
phones there are certain apps which are
taking screenshots of your phone every
five seconds every 10 seconds or every
one minute and they are sending it to
different servers if you had an
anti-virus on your mobile phone you
could have been preventing this it's not
too late it's just 100 rupee thing
install an anti-virus on your phone
another smaller thing is a client of
mine lost eight point one three lakhs he
didn't use his debit card anywhere at no
particular store at no particular ATM
yet all his money went in the foreign
sources you would ask what happened you
would have got an OTP
or a they needed a pin sorry on certain
websites on certain international
websites you don't require and OH
pp who don't require up in all you need
is your sixteen digit card number with
the expiry date and with the CVV number
and that's it you're able to do as many
transactions as you can
he had a limit of 10 lakhs 8.1 3 lakhs
went away so highly disabled the
international transactions on his credit
cards on his debit cards this particular
thing could have been averted we have a
lot of sensitive pictures and a lot of
sensitive messages on our apps be it
whatsapp be tower sms's or beat our
gallery many of us don't even lock our
phones or even when we lock our phones
we are putting four-digit pin which your
neighbor or the person sitting behind
can easily come to know what the pin is
so what you need to do is at least have
an app blocker for the most important of
your apps which means it will again
require a particular password or
fingerprint to open that particular
there is some very huge problem that's
happening and that is many of the people
are storing their private most private
intimate moments their sexual acts on
the phone I have dealt with
approximately 25 cases of sextortion and
one common thing that I saw was all of
these couples or victims had their nudes
or nude videos saved on their own phones
I think we need to understand the risk
of this particular thing sexual activity
is something that you need to enjoy it
is not that you need to preserve it
especially on your devices children are
being a major target
please understand parents and elder
brothers and sisters you don't have the
consent to put the pictures of your
children on the web there are pedo files
there are these sharp predators who are
just looking for
images and images of children they get
pleasure out of which out of it and then
they start grooming these children they
start talking to these children and when
your children will go out of control you
wouldn't know that I have dealt with
hundred-plus such cases
lastly artificial intelligence and the
threats over there are generated by the
technology and it's only and only the
technology which will be able to save us
from the threats of this technology to
end up all please let me tell you
please don't believe any of the videos
that have forwarded any of the messages
that are forwarded any of the audio
files that are forwarded everything can
be faked you need to verify from
credible sources such as some news
channels or newspapers whether it's true
or not and Friends before I leave please
let me tell you we are in an era an era
of zero trust you cannot trust what you
see you cannot trust what you read you
cannot trust what you hear I'm referring
only to the digital platform so it's
extremely important that you pay
attention to these things and also let
me end by saying this now I'm not too
sure whether you've heard my TEDx talk
or not but let me tell you thus the
Google and the City the Google assistant
and the serene your phones definitely
did and before these guys upload this
video on YouTube this talk is already on
their servers thank you so much and
thank you so much for listening to me
especially on this Sunday lazy afternoon
[Applause]
