Fraudsters are increasingly using generative AI (GenAI) and deepfakes to commit new account fraud (NAF) and bypass biometric checks. Digital forgeries now account for over a third (35%) of document fraud attempts, driven by the accessibility of modern editing tools and GenAI. Deepfakes are responsible for a fifth of biometric fraud attempts, particularly in financial services, including crypto (60%), digital-first banks (22%), and payments & merchants (13%). The frequency of injection attacks using deepfakes has risen by 40% annually.
