In 2024, crypto scams amounting to $9.9 billion were observed, with advanced technologies like AI significantly exacerbating the situation.

AI Boosts Cybercrime

The Huione platform, which offers fraudulent service vendors, received at least $375.9 million in cryptocurrency in 2024. From 2021 to 2024, AI-driven scam revenues increased by 1900%. Generative AI allows the creation of fake identities, bypassing identity verification.

Huione Platform and Its Participants

The Huione platform hosts numerous vendors supplying AI tools for scams. The platform offers 'face-changing services' using AI priced at $200 in cryptocurrency. Payments on the platform indicate purchases of such software.

Interaction and Consequences

Analysis on the Huione platform revealed 2,345 transfers between different scam facilitators and services. Main players include infrastructure providers and social media management services actively exchanging funds and services.

AI development significantly contributes to the proliferation of scams, particularly on platforms like Huione. Measures must be taken to counteract this threat.
