Description: Cato CTRL security researchers reported that the cybercriminal group ProKYC is selling a deepfake tool capable of bypassing biometric and two-factor authentication (2FA) systems on cryptocurrency exchanges. The tool creates synthetic identities using AI-generated videos and forged documents, enabling fraudulent account creation. A demo video from ProKYC shows the tool in action against ByBit, allowing attackers to verify fake accounts for purposes such as money laundering and identity theft.
Editor Notes: Reconstructing the timeline of events: (1) Sometime before 2024: ProKYC develops a deepfake tool designed to defeat biometric and 2FA systems. (2) Sometime in Q4 of 2024: Cato CTRL security researchers discover ProKYC’s deepfake tool being sold in the cybercriminal underground. (3) October 9, 2024: Cato Networks publishes its report.

Variantes
Una "Variante" es un incidente que comparte los mismos factores causales, produce daños similares e involucra los mismos sistemas inteligentes que un incidente de IA conocido. En lugar de indexar las variantes como incidentes completamente separados, enumeramos las variaciones de los incidentes bajo el primer incidente similar enviado a la base de datos. A diferencia de otros tipos de envío a la base de datos de incidentes, no se requiere que las variantes tengan informes como evidencia externa a la base de datos de incidentes.
