Dissecting a Criminal Deepfake Tool

Jim Brennan

Chief Product & Technology Officer, GetReal Security

Tom Cross

Head of Threat Research, GetReal Security

Haotian AI is a Chinese language deepfake tool marketed to criminals and online scammers and sold via Telegram channels. It has earned a reputation online for being a uniquely powerful tool for performing faceswap deceptions. It is used for romance scams, law enforcement impersonations, and other social engineering attacks. Blockchain records indicate that its creators have earned over $4 million dollars selling the software to threat actors.

GetReal Security was able to obtain a copy of Haotian AI working in collaboration with journalists at 404 Media. In this session, we will review the features of the software and show how it enables online scams. We'll dive under the hood and describe some of the AI models that power the tool. Finally, we'll discuss different ways that threat actors are making use of tools like this, and what it takes to detect these kinds of deceptions in the wild.

Deepfake detection has moved from niche capability to enterprise necessity. Trust now has to be protected in the same places business happens: live meetings, hiring workflows, executive communications, contact centers, and other high-stakes digital interactions.
