ID-Pal upgrades defences against deepfake injection fraud

ID-Pal

ID-Pal, an identity verification and fraud prevention platform, has announced upgrades to its Injection Attack Detection (IAD) capabilities within its Liveness Testing function, aimed at addressing session-layer manipulation and deepfake injection during remote onboarding.

The enhanced IAD functionality enables ID-Pal to alert clients when a biometric facial matching session has been interfered with at either the software or session layer. The system is designed to identify scenarios where fraudsters circumvent a device’s physical camera and instead feed manipulated or pre-recorded content directly into a verification session.

The move comes amid a documented surge in AI-powered fraud. The Regula 2025 Identity Fraud by Numbers report highlights growing incidences of voice cloning, synthetic identities and prompt injection attacks across both consumer and business environments. CIFAS’ Fraudscape 2026 Report further notes that fraud cases have reached a record high.

The enhanced detection covers a broad range of attack vectors, including photo and video replay attacks, screen and virtual camera injections, two-dimensional and three-dimensional mask attacks, AI-generated and deepfake faces, and bot-assisted or scripted fraud attempts.

ID-Pal provides identity verification and fraud prevention tools for organisations across financial services, FinTech and other regulated industries, helping them detect impersonation attacks during digital onboarding.

The company says the injection attack detection improvements complement its existing fraud prevention capabilities and are intended to support businesses looking to bolster the security of their remote onboarding infrastructure.

ID-Pal CEO and founder Colum Lyons said, “Most vendors protect against presentation attacks, but far fewer protect against injection attacks in such an intuitive way, without compromise on user experience. As deepfake technology improves, these attacks are becoming more scalable, harder to detect, and increasingly automated – exposing your business to a new generation of identity fraud.”

ID-Pal head of product Rob Sheehan said, “Fraud tactics continue to evolve as criminals adopt AI-generated media and sophisticated manipulation tools. By enhancing our Liveness Detection capability, we are helping organisations defend against a new generation of digital identity fraud while maintaining a seamless user experience for legitimate customers.”
