This was stated by Evgeny Zaika, Director of Business Development in the Financial Sector at VisionLabs, at the Bishkek International Financial Forum (BIF).
According to him, whereas fraudsters previously had to spend thousands of euros on creating 3D masks to bypass biometrics, a deepfake attack can now cost around $5.
Zaika noted that 2022 marked a turning point, with the emergence of so-called injection attacks — the substitution of a video stream using a generated image or video. He emphasised that thousands of programmes for creating deepfakes are now available online.
According to the VisionLabs representative, protecting banking services requires a comprehensive security system, including anti-fraud solutions, application integrity checks and deepfake detection tools.
He also stated that for some banks, combating such threats is becoming a matter of survival.
The issue of cybersecurity and remote identification is becoming increasingly relevant against the backdrop of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and video generation technologies.
