SMRTR summary

AI-generated deepfakes are being used to bypass facial recognition systems and create fake identities for cryptocurrency fraud. An attacker known as ProKYC sells tools on the dark web that can forge government IDs and spoof live video checks, enabling new account fraud that caused $5.3 billion in losses in 2023. Organizations can combat this by scanning for high-quality videos, watching for glitches, and balancing security measures.
