in Fraud Companies are facing an increase in fake job applicants using deepfake technology, according to representatives from security firms.
Pindrop Security has reported cases where individuals use altered voices and faces to secure multiple positions within the same organization. Representatives from Pindrop stated that some customers discovered the same person hired three times under different identities. These deepfakes often involve people modifying their own features rather than fully AI-generated personas.
A previous detection method involved asking individuals to hold three fingers in front of their face, but current AI models can now render this convincingly. Representatives from Pindrop noted that such alterations are now imperceptible to the naked eye.
like Pindrop Security and Reality Defender are developing software to counter these threats.
Pindrop's system analyzes audio and video during meetings, such as on Zoom, to confirm participants' identities. Users consent to the collection of voice, face scans, and IP addresses, retained for up to 90 days.
