Deepfake explosion signals a new age in digital fraud

The analysis reveals that one in five biometric fraud attempts now involves deepfakes, with deepfaked selfies skyrocketing 58% in 2025, underscoring how generative AI is reshaping the threat landscape. The most concerning trend is the rise of injection attacks, which grew 40% year-over-year. These attacks bypass the camera entirely by feeding manipulated images or videos directly into verification systems—effectively hijacking the “live” element that many organisations rely on to verify authenticity.
