Incidente 819: translated-es-ProKYC Tool Allegedly Facilitates Deepfake-Based Account Fraud on Cryptocurrency Exchanges
Descripción: translated-es-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.
