Biometric data obtained from selfies, forged passports and cyberattacks on data stores holding everything from fingerprints to DNA have long been best-sellers on the dark web. Untraceable yet very powerful in allowing attackers to access the most valuable information a victim has, attackers are racing to fine-tune their tradecraft, producing synthetic ID fraud for more sophisticated attacks. Current approaches to protecting biometric data are falling short, however. “Biometric authentication offers unique advantages over other credential-based methods, but concerns about novel attacks and privacy are barriers to adoption,” according to Gartner. Their recent study of biometric authentication states that “concerns are growing about AI-enabled deepfake attacks that could undermine biometric authentication or render it worthless.” Last year, at his company’s Zenith Live 2023 event, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry told the audience that a deepfake of his voice to extort funds from the company’s India-based operations was created and launched by an attacker. VentureBeat has learned of more than a dozen instances of deepfake and biometrics-based breach attempts against leading cybersecurity companies over the last year. They have become so prevalent that the Department of Homeland Security provides a guide on how to counter them, “Increasing Threats of Deepfake Identities.” All forms of biometrics data are already best-sellers on the dark web
