According to Mars Finance, Binance founder CZ disclosed that he discovered a user on the social media platform X using AI-generated images to impersonate a close supporter of his. CZ pointed out that the account, with 863,000 followers, used photos from a BNB Chain event he attended in South Korea as banners and posted multiple AI-generated photos of him posing with CZ. CZ identified the fake images by analyzing details such as his inability to wear blue or purple clothing and inconsistent resolution of figures in the pictures. The original photos were actually of him with Aster CEO Leonard. CZ warned the community to be vigilant against such potential scams and stated that the Binance team welcomes honest and constructive feedback.
