Over $1.5 billion. That's the running total of financial losses tied to AI-generated deepfakes worldwide between January and September 2025, according to data compiled by Surfshark from the AI Incident Database and Resemble. It's the clearest sign yet that deepfake fraud has moved from a novelty to a line item, one that shows up in board reports, insurance claims, and post-incident investigations. - [How Fraud-as-a-Service is changing the shape of cybercrime](https://www.veriff.com/fraud/the-rise-of-fraud-as-a-service): Tycoon 2FA — currently the most prolific Phishing-as-a-Service kit on the market — sells for around $120 for ten days of access on Telegram.

It's trust. Users hand you their photos, their conversations, and increasingly, their hearts, all on the assumption that the person on the other side of the screen is real. That assumption is now under attack. AI-generated deepfakes, synthetic identities, and fraud-as-a-service have turned what used to be a clumsy fake profile into something far harder to catch. The platforms that fail to adapt won't just lose a few bad accounts. They'll lose the one thing they can't easily win back: their users' confidence. - [Half of Americans are confident they can spot a deepfake.

By 2026, businesses operating across the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Ireland need age checks that are verifiable, privacy-preserving, and aligned with regulator guidance. - [Navigating US age verification laws for businesses](https://www.veriff.com/fraud/learn/age-verification-in-us): New legislation is rapidly changing how users access content online.

The approach isn't. The UK is regulator-led: the Online Safety Act sets requirements, and Ofcom (with the ICO) fills in the details. The US is fragmented, driven mostly by state law and shaped by ongoing litigation. The EU mixes both, the Digital Services Act provides a blueprint, but member states like Italy, France, and Germany still add their own rules. A business operating internationally can't assume one implementation covers every market. - [When governments meet agentic AI: identity, sovereignty, and the urgency to act](https://www.veriff.com/podcasts/veriff-voices-episode-2-agentic-government): In the second episode of the Veriff Voices Deepfakes Series, host Anisah Osman Britton brings together Hubert Behaghel, Chief Technology Officer at Veriff, and Luukas Ilves, AI advisor to the Government Office of Estonia and advisor to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

Her tormentor created a complex narrative, purporting to be the son of a real Israeli diamond magnate and employing a team of employees and supposed family members.

But beneath the extravagant veneer lay the typical elements of social engineering and romance fraud. - [Why perpetual know-your-customer (pKYC) is the next evolution of compliance procedure ](https://www.veriff.com/podcasts/perpetual-kyc-next-evolution-of-compliance): Alex Buckwald is Head of EMEA Client Insights at Alloy, a company that enables global financial institutions and fintechs to balance identity risk with growth.

Always in search of the path of least resistance, fraudsters are therefore turning to other means to separate the unsuspecting from their money. - [Seven key steps to counter insider fraud](https://www.veriff.com/podcasts/seven-key-steps-to-counter-insider-fraud): Despite the increasing focus on countering the growing threat from malicious actors, ‘insider’ fraud, that is, fraud committed by the members of an organization, still tends to fly under the radar. - [Cultivating culture to foster innovation and build for success](https://www.veriff.com/podcasts/cultivating-culture-to-foster-innovation-and-build): Bringing a wealth of experience to this discussion is Luke Govier, our VP of People.
