$79.1 Billion Lost in Two Years to Deepfake Scams Bitget Research s recent report highlighted a dramatic rise in scams featuring deepfake technology. According to their data, malicious technology use jumped 245% in 2024 alone. These scams, usually leveraging fake celebrity endorsements, have become increasingly sophisticated, targeting unsuspecting investors and causing significant financial damage. Deepfake Scams Caused $79.1 Billion Loss Sponsored Sponsored Deepfake technology, which manipulates photos and videos to create hyper-realistic fake content, has been weaponized to promote fraudulent schemes. According to the report, users have lost $79.1 billion to cyberattacks involving deepfakes since the beginning of 2022. The losses are increasing each year, with a significant surge in 2024, where the amount more than doubled, rising by 245%. Bitget estimates that potential damage from deepfake scams could reach $10 billion per quarter by 2025. Deepfakes are moving into the crypto sector in force and there is little we can do to stop them without proper education and awareness. The vigilance of the users and their ability to discern scams and fraud from real offerings is still the most effective line of defence against such crimes, until a comprehensive legal and cybersecurity framework is in place on a global scale,” said Gracy Chen, the CEO at Bitget, commenting on the figures outlined in the report.
