Cybercriminals using AI to create profile pictures for fake LinkedIn profiles

We have all seen artificial intelligence's capabilities when it comes to creating images. However, cybercriminals are using it to create profile pictures of non-existent people and combine them with job descriptions and other information stolen from real profiles on LinkedIn to create fake profiles. These profiles are using uniquely generated photos, which makes them harder to detect. Thousands of these fake profiles indicate a new trend, however, researchers are confused about the motive behind this new trend. According to the most common idea, these profiles are attempting to access various invite-only LinkedIn groups.
