SURGE IN DEEPFAKE “FACE SWAP” ATTACKS PUTS REMOTE IDENTITY VERIFICATION AT RISK

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A new report by biometric firm iProov shows that deepfake "face swap" attacks have increased by 704% from the first to the second half of 2023. Fraudsters are using off-the-shelf tools to create manipulated images and videos, making it easier to create convincing deepfakes. These deepfakes can trick remote identity verification systems into believing that the subject's "liveness" is real.
