Incidente 1076: Supuestas falsificaciones no autorizadas de Norman Swan y otros circulan en campañas de suplementos en línea
Descripción: Según un informe de ABC News (Australia) a las 7.30, una segunda ola de anuncios fraudulentos deepfake que suplantaban la identidad de Norman Swan y otras figuras públicas circuló ampliamente en las plataformas Meta en 2025, promocionando suplementos para la salud sin eficacia comprobada. La campaña incluía nuevos vídeos clonados y más tácticas de suplantación de identidad, y, según se informa, contribuyó a daños financieros y de salud. Los investigadores vincularon los anuncios con empresas de Australia y Nueva Zelanda mediante redirecciones engañosas y alias.
Editor Notes: See Incident 880 for details on the earlier wave of reported deepfakes impersonating Norman Swan and Jonathan Shaw. This incident is a variant of that case and reflects an escalation in tactics, volume, and the inclusion of additional public figures. Reconstructing the timeline of events: (1) According to ABC's 7.30, deepfake ads featuring Norman Swan began appearing around late 2022, allegedly falsely promoting unproven health supplements. (2) Despite early takedown requests, reportedly new deepfakes circulated in larger volume in 2024, including impersonations of Professor Jonathan Shaw. (3) Individuals reportedly stopped medication or lost money due to these ads. (4) On 05/21/2025, ABC published a detailed report linking the campaign to businesses in Australia and New Zealand.
