Fraudsters aren’t just faking identities – they’re manipulating the very systems designed to stop them. Increasingly, criminal networks use injection attacks, emulators, and deepfakes to bypass identity verification and fraud detection. These tactics let attackers override app logic, falsify biometric inputs, and automate attacks at scale without triggering traditional security alarms. As organizations invest in stronger front-end checks, these back-end exploits are fast becoming fraud’s most dangerous frontier.
In this session, we’ll unpack how professional fraud rings use injection and emulation tactics to evade detection and scale synthetic identity fraud, account takeovers, and mule account creation. You’ll learn how they pass “trusted device” checks, fake live camera feeds, inject false data, and manipulate app behavior undetected. We’ll go beyond the buzz to explore:
- What these attacks look like in the wild
- Why today’s defenses often miss them—especially on mobile
- The signals that reveal deception, and how layered defenses are exposing what others miss
