The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has issued a critical alert to assist financial institutions in identifying and addressing fraud schemes involving deepfake media created with generative AI (GenAI) tools.
change communication methods during a verification check.Some identity verification solutions may also flag possible attempts to circumvent verification checks, such as the use of third-party webcam plugins, which can let a customer display previously generated video rather than live video. Use of Deepfake Media in Phishing Attacks and Scams Criminals may also target financial institution customers and employees through sophisticated, GenAI-enabled social engineering attempts in support of other scams and fraud typologies, such as business email compromise (BEC) schemes, spear phishing attacks, elder financial exploitation, romance scams, and virtual currency investment scams.24For example, in family emergency schemes, scammers may use deepfake voices or videos to impersonate a victim’s family member, friend, or other trusted individual.25Similarly, criminals have reportedly used GenAI tools to target companies by impersonating an executive or other trusted employee and then instructing victims to transfer large sums or make payments to accounts ultimately under the scammer’s control.26 Financial Red Flag Indicators of Deepfake Media Abuse FinCEN identified the following red flag indicators to help financial institutions detect, prevent, and report potential suspicious activity related to the use of GenAI tools for illicit purposes.As no single red flag is necessarily indicative of illicit or suspicious activity, financial institutions should consider the surrounding facts and circumstances before determining whether a specific transaction is suspicious or associated with illicit use of GenAI tools. A customer’s photo is internally inconsistent (e.g., shows visual tells of being altered) or is inconsistent with their other identifying information (e.g., a customer’s date of birth indicates that they are much older or younger than the photo would suggest). A customer presents multiple identity documents that are inconsistent with each other.
