Why deepfakes are scared of mobile devices

Voice cloning is fooling grandparents into wiring money to "grandchildren." Vendor impersonation is rerouting accounts payable. And fraud rings are using AI to change their accents mid-scam when their first attempt raises suspicion.

In this webinar, PJ Rohul (co-founder, About Fraud) talks with Laurel Sykes (chief risk officer, American Riviera Bank) and Brandon Chen (product marketing manager, Persona) about why mobile device-based verifications are becoming fraud teams' strongest defense against sophisticated attacks.

WHAT WE COVER

→ The three-part anatomy of sophisticated attacks: scale, masking, and GenAI
→ Catching masked IPs and VPNs with geolocation calculations, impossible-travel signals, and velocity counts
→ Why precise GPS is far harder to spoof than IP address
→ Link analysis: connecting fraud rings through shared IPs, names, and even selfie images
→ NFC verification: how EU passport and national ID chip mandates are raising the bar for remote identity capture
→ Silent network authentication: validating a phone's SIM directly with carriers, no passcode required
→ Detecting injection attacks: how device, app, runtime, and network signals expose a hijacked camera feed
