"Deepfake Face Swap Attacks on ID Verification Systems up 704% in 2023"

Deepfake attacks that use "face swap" technology to evade remote identity verification increased by 704 percent in 2023, according to iProov's 2024 Threat Intelligence Report, "The Impact of Generative AI on Remote Identity Verification." Many deepfake-focused threat actors are increasing their sophistication with free and inexpensive face swap tools, virtual cameras, and mobile emulators. Generative AI has significantly improved threat actors' productivity levels. AI tools are relatively cheap, easily accessible, and can be used to create highly convincing deepfakes that can easily fool the human eye and less advanced biometric solutions. In addition to identifying face swaps as the preferred deepfake among persistent threat actors, iProov's Security Operations Centre (iSOC) discovered that injection attacks on mobile identity verification platforms increased by 255 percent, while the use of emulators in these attacks increased by 353 percent between the first and second halves of 2023. This article continues to discuss the rise in deepfake face swap attacks on ID verification systems.
