CloudSek documents multiple active uses of AI deepfakes targeting the 2024 US elections: a fake "Trump Gold Badge" promo ad that redirects to a parking page while harvesting card details, manipulated debate and candidate videos circulated on social platforms, and deepfakes tied to crypto-phishing sites (muskdebate.io). The report includes CloudSek Deepfake Analyzer findings, domain registration details, and examples of social amplification, warning that these techniques pose a realistic threat to electoral integrity and individual finances and recommending use of detection and verification tools.
