Fraud isn’t getting bigger — it’s getting smarter.
In 2026, we’re entering a new phase: The Sophistication Shift.
Instead of high-volume, low-effort attempts, fraudsters are now using deepfakes, synthetic identity clusters, telemetry tampering, and post-KYC account abuse to bypass even strong verification systems.
This means fewer attacks — but each one is harder to detect and far more expensive when it succeeds.
In this session, we’ll break down how identity fraud has evolved, what’s driving this shift, and the specific defenses companies need to build now to stay ahead.
What you’ll learn:
– What The Sophistication Shift means for your fraud and risk models in 2026
– How deepfakes, AI-generated IDs, and synthetic identities now operate in coordinated networks
– Why fraud is moving from onboarding to post-KYC abuse and payment layer exploitation
– How to detect fraud rings using behavioral and telemetry signals, not just document checks
– Practical steps to adapt onboarding, monitoring, and escalation flows for 2026 threats
