AI-Generated Fake IDs Pose New Cybersecurity Threat

OnlyFake, a website utilizing artificial intelligence, is creating highly realistic counterfeit IDs, challenging existing online verification systems.

  • OnlyFake offers a service producing AI-generated counterfeit IDs, including personal details and manipulated metadata to appear genuine.
  • The site claims to produce up to 20,000 documents daily, using 'neural networks' to generate hundreds of fake identities from an Excel table.
  • A fake British passport image from OnlyFake successfully passed the identity verification on the cryptocurrency exchange site OKX.
  • The service is reportedly available for just $15, making it a significant threat to cybersecurity and the marketplace for fake identities.
  • While the use of generative AI tools by OnlyFake has not been independently verified, the potential for widespread identity fraud is alarming.
