Live Deepfake Image Injection Evades Mobile KYC Biometrics

Attack on AI1 Research / proof of conceptAdversarial evasionDeepfake fraud

A red team demonstrated a face-swapped imagery injection attack that successfully bypassed facial recognition authentication and liveness verification models. The technique allows attackers to spoof identity verification on mobile devices.
