New Tech, Same Stories: The Future of Fraud in the AI Age

As we know, fraud is certainly nothing new and talented fraudsters have been around for generations. But the introduction and growth of AI is making it easier for unskilled attackers to get into the game. Services being offered by cybercriminals are automating attacks and deepfakes are making them more believable, but the tools are easy to use and very powerful.

In this session, attendees will learn about the deepfake audio, video, and photo tools currently available to fraudsters and how easily these tools can be used. The session will examine methods for identifying manipulated content and outline tips organizations can adopt to protect both themselves and their customers, helping reduce risk and improve overall safety.

Keynote

The Next Wave of Fraud Forming in Plain Sight

 A new fraud supply chain is emerging — one that leverages trust-based onboarding, dormant identity records, and legitimate business infrastructure to operate at scale.

In this keynote, David will highlight his undercover research and real-world case studies to reveal how fraudsters identify and resurrect overlooked identities, traffic them in global marketplaces, and use them to establish synthetic businesses that unlock credit, tax refunds, and financial accounts. These entities often pass early verification checks, quietly change registered agents, and embed themselves within legitimate systems before detection.

The result is an industrialized model of financial crime hiding in plain sight.

Whether you issue credit, open deposit accounts, approve rental applications, or build fintech products, these tactics expose structural vulnerabilities that affect the entire ecosystem. This session will unpack how the model works, and what it signals for 2026 and beyond.
