Syrian accounts pose as Russian families online

For six years, Syrian users have posed as Russian families on social media using stolen photos and videos. About this "Base" told the citizen of Russia Tatiana.

She learned about the forgery after Arab users began sending her massive links to a page where almost all of her personal life was collected: photos from walks, videos with her husband and child.

Similarly, the attackers used the content of sister Tatiana. All posts on fake pages were accompanied by captions in Arabic.

In addition, unknown persons published a video of a girl from Chechnya, previously changing her appearance using neural networks and creating an image of a Muslim woman in a hijab.

The family speculated that the fake profiles could have been used for fraud, as well as for disguise or provocation. Currently, all detected fake accounts have been deleted.
