Fraudsters have mastered neural networks and are using them in their schemes. Fortunately, Yandex Praktikum has launched a course that will teach you how to protect yourself—free and from scratch.

🚀 What happened?
Yandex Praktikum has launched a free online course on fraud protection using artificial intelligence. The program is designed for users without specialized training and focuses on modern fraudulent schemes.

⚠️ Why is this important?
Neural networks are increasingly being used for selfish purposes. Fraudsters can:

🔸 Fake voices and videos (deepfakes). They imitate the appearance and voice of your loved ones or bosses to trick you into giving up money or confidential information.

🔸 Create realistic phishing emails. Using AI, they write flawless messages from well-known brands that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

🔸 Falsify documents. Using neural networks, they can forge bank statements and other documents.

📚 What does the course offer?
This training will help you recognize deepfakes, phishing sites, and other AI-based fraud schemes. You’ll learn which personal account settings will improve your security and what technologies companies use to protect data.

How to get started? Simply log in to the course website using Yandex ID—no card required.
