"Fraudsters Can Bypass Biometric Facial Recognition"

Organizations are increasingly implementing biometrics to streamline and expedite authentication. However, Stuart Wells, CTO of the biometrics authentication company Jumio, identifies potential threats and methods fraudsters may use to circumvent facial recognition. Europol has predicted that by 2026, as much as 90 percent of online content could be artificially generated, making it more difficult for organizations to determine the true identities of individuals. According to Wells, fraudsters can use a "camera injection" technique to inject deepfake videos into the system and deceive biometric and liveness detection tools. This technique involves bypassing a camera's Charged-Coupled Device (CCD) to inject pre-recorded content, a real-time face swap video feed, or entirely fabricated content using deepfake technology. If attackers use camera injection, they can remain undetected without victims being aware of the hack. If malicious actors can evade the verification, they can cause significant damage by stealing identities, creating fake accounts, and more. This article continues to discuss the use of deepfake videos and camera injection attacks by fraudsters.
