Patrick Hillmann, chief communications officer of Binance, confirmed that scammers used his Deepfake AI hologram to trick users into online meetings and target the projects of clients of the company.
The executive also reported that the company is observing a spike in scammers pretending to be Binance employees and executives on platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Telegram, etc.
Hillmann added that he received several online messages thanking him for the time spent in meetings with project teams regarding potential opportunities to list their assets on Binance.com.
