Summary
OnlyFake, an underground website, employs neural networks to swiftly produce convincing fake IDs for just $15, potentially facilitating bank fraud and money laundering. Verified by 404 Media, the service allows users to input desired information and a passport photo, generating realistic IDs, even mimicking signatures. With its purported use of neural networks and generators, OnlyFake claims to churn out up to 20,000 documents daily, mainly for US identities. The IDs, backed by real-looking backgrounds, can pass online verification, posing challenges to platforms like OKX cryptocurrency exchange. While some companies, such as Jumio and Coinbase, aim to counter such fraud, OnlyFake’s AI-powered IDs present a formidable challenge. Wick, the service’s owner, aims to expand its capabilities, potentially including face and selfie generation. Discussions within OnlyFake’s community suggest a pursuit of solutions for video verification challenges. Senator Ron Wyden warns of the growing threat posed by AI-based tools, urging the adoption of secure authentication methods. This revelation comes amidst a broader trend of AI-driven fraud, exemplified by AI-generated voices and images, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures.

Good. This just shows how pointless identity cards are.

ID cards without chip are pointless. I’d like to see them try to fake a chipped document.

Mhm. We need everyone to submit to DNA sampling and iris scans, so our overlords can keep more reliable records of our doings. /s

This shows that anything is pointless if the other side believes in kinds of verification which can be manufactured the way you can’t distinguish it from the real thing.
Frankly I’m feeling a bit of love now to banks which don’t allow you to do anything scary without visiting their office in person.

And I’m on the completely opposite end where the person I trust to have my best interest at heart is me. So I have crypto and manage it myself.
