Cyber fraudsters have exploited deepfake technology to create a misleading video featuring Indian cricketer Virat Kohli endorsing a betting app. The video, shared widely on social media, fabricates Kohli's support for the app in Hindi, incorporating a fake live news segment with journalist Anjana Om Kashyap. The perpetrators also manipulated an interview clip, altering Kohli's voice synthetically. This incident follows a similar fake video involving Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar has urged social media vigilance, emphasizing the importance of swift action to curb the spread of misinformation and deepfakes.
