Infosys founder Narayana Murthy, on Thursday, cautioned people against falling prey to the deepfake videos of him doing rounds on the internet.
Taking to social media, he issued a 'public warning' about fake news items being propagated saying he has been endorsing automated trading apps.
"In recent months, there have been several fake news items propagated via social media apps and on various webpages available on internet claiming that I have endorsed or invested in automated trading applications named TC AI Evex, British Bitcoin Profit, Bit Lyte Sync, Immediate Momentum, Capitalix Ventures etc," he wrote.
The news items appear on fraudulent websites that masquerade as popular newspaper websites and some of them even publish fake interviews using deepfake pictures and videos, he said.
Categorically denying "any endorsement, relation or association with these applications or websites," the Infosys founder urged people not to content of these malicious sites and to the products or services they are trying to sell to you. Please report any such instances to the concerned regulatory authorities."
