    AI-driven identity fraud rises across verification systems

    Technical Analysis Update

    Entrust's 2026 Identity Fraud Report says fraudsters are increasingly using GenAI and deepfakes to commit new account fraud and bypass biometric-based checks across identity verification systems. The findings cite digital forgeries at 35% of document-fraud attempts, deepfakes at one-fifth of biometric fraud attempts, and injection attacks rising 40% annually, with virtual camera injections often paired with device emulation and fake images or videos fed directly into verification systems.
