Hidden AI-generated Fake IDs on the Underground Site
Inside the underground site called Only Fake, users can generate realistic-looking fake IDs by inputting arbitrary information and uploading a photo or using one provided by the service. The generated IDs are convincing and can pass as authentic scanned documents. The potential use cases for these fake IDs range from bank fraud to bypassing identity verification processes on cryptocurrency exchanges. While the website has been shut down, the ease and affordability of generating these IDs raise concerns about the security of identity verification systems utilizing digital images.
