The safety issues of Deepfake Technology

In recent years there has been an evolution in the applications found in the digital smartphone app stores and any user with minimal knowledge can make use of the technology based on any facial photo and add voice, including perpetrators who deceive users to steal their personal information such as bank accounts through social network accounts without the consent of the users themselves.
