Reports of deepfake sex crimes in Korea are spreading, with a viral "deepfake map" now highlighting affected schools. The map, created by a high school freshman, shows locations of middle schools, high schools, and universities allegedly impacted by deepfake crimes, with over 500 schools listed and 3 million visits recorded by Thursday. The site is linked to Seoul's digital crime support center but has been temporarily down due to high traffic and suspected DDoS attacks.
The map's creator was inspired by COVID-19 tracking tools and aims to raise awareness, although he cannot confirm actual incidents at the listed schools. Police data reveal that nearly 60% of deepfake sex crime victims from 2021 to 2023 were minors, a significantly higher rate than other age groups. Despite rising cases, preventive measures remain limited, with authorities primarily relying on post-crime punishment.
Police are now upgrading deepfake detection software, which has an 80% accuracy rate and can analyze content in 10 minutes, and launching undercover investigations to boost arrests. Arrest rates for deepfake crimes have hovered around 50% over the past three years.
