Abstract:

We’ve proven deepfakes can beat KYC processes, and even liveness detection in most digital onboarding journey’s. It’s also trivial for scammers to create personalized, believable scams at scale for business email compromise and phishing. Soups shares the types of attacks that are happening as well as the types of things to look for during onboarding and in production that help your fraud models detect this stuff as it’s happening.
