Topic: AI-generated fake IDs claimed to pass crypto exchange KYC are selling for $15 (Read 664 times)

Sounds kind of eerie but at the same time I wonder how many BIG Exchanges would fall for this.

As far as I remember.  Some of the big Exchanges verify the legitimacy of your provided information through Third Parties.  How do they bypass this part of the process?  Even if the ID looks convincingly well made.  The information is false, I presume, so that would be where they stop you.

Then I really wonder how such an image would look at full size.  From far away, it may seem legitimate.  But I REALLY doubt the AI could produce an image so well it looks exactly like a snapped photo.  Zoom in on any of the photos you took in bright sunlight and then zoom in on a photo generated by AI.  You could tell the difference from miles away.

Some body said Binance has a live video verification.  If you do not interact with a Binance agent who verifies you then it is not impossible to do even that.  The latest AI technology could produce a video of a portrait of some body looking around and then there is Software you can use to use a video as fake Webcam.

Things are possible.  But at what cost?  What do you gain from this.  All it takes is Binance going through the probably supposedly removed information and they realize something is sketchy about you.  They can freeze your account any time together with your Balance.  Why?  Just use Decentralized Exchanges or even Centralized Exchanges requiring no Know Your Customer.  It is much better, safer and worry free.

I have seen the recent capabilities of these AI stuffs, I saw the ID generated by AI and also a video too, so it possible to pass KYC using AI generated ID, but the fault will be on the crypto exchange, as they can't tell the difference between the AI generated ID and the original, which they should be able to.

There are ways to know that an ID is fake, especially through live Video, it will just make the process longer than before and it's better, because criminals might start using this to hurt crypto platforms in future.

An AI won't work through live video verification, even if a fake human is been generated there are things the customer care can ask them to do in the live video that's impossible for AI to do, I pity those that are buying such IDs online, you can get away with P2PB2B like exchanges but some will just end up seizing your money in the end.

However, to those who decided to use centralized exchanges and don't mind submitting their personal information for KYC, they better submit honest information. This applies especially to day traders who don't have much choice but to sign up in exchanges with high volume and many trading pairs.

It's definitely not good for privacy to share personal information, but taking or faking this step with the use of fake AI-generated documents might only jeopardize your purpose in using such platforms. Not only that, once these exchanges catch up and you're caught, your money might be seized as well.

Conspiracy theory? Global empires are a conspiracy fact! Ever heard of the British Empire?

I never claimed this tool itself creates a global identity. What I meant was that it could spur kneejerk legislative actions towards the creation of a ubiquitous digital global identity---and that if powerful entities could promote this kneejerk reaction, there are immense profits waiting if they manipulate or seize control of said system.

If it the potential exists, expect exploitation. That's human nature.

if these websites can create fake kyc easily, then the exchange together with third parties will also be able to create an algorithm which can detect whether or not the kyc provided by the user is genuine or not. because there is no more sophisticated technology, there will definitely be other technology that will be able to counter it. so no matter how users use third-party platforms to create their own fake identities, it will only be a waste of their money.

Most of the exchanges ask their user to open camera for verification purpose to make sure that it's you and not a kind of AI or a robot. When a user open the camera, they ask to blink eyes and rotate the face. I am not sure how AI could bypass these verification process. If some AI can do it, people will use it and they may scam others. They would be able to abuse some airdrops that requires KYC data to participate and cheat every platforms that requires KYC verification. It's hard to believe yet that some AI would be able to generate such IDs. Most of the image generated AI aren't clear enough when it comes to texts.

The thing is worrisome and a pointer to how vulnerable we are to keep our original documents with such sites, because if AI can bypass the Okex KYC process it shows how weak their KYC mechanism is and how open and uncontrollable there could be in handling users' KYC documents.


But also I think that we have a closer look at this exchange and how the operates aside from just trading on them, it goes beyond that, because only potential scam sites ever take care of their KYC procedures since what they will be interested in is the money they earn or exit with on the long run.

old technology, it's not that surprising, if in hackers' scope this is a general method that is very easy to make, maybe now it's quite easy to make it using AI, but in Photoshop it's no less easy, there's already a template, just copy paste the data and insert the photo and it's all done. Maybe this has recently been implemented in crypto so it's causing a stir. Besides, security is very tight now, apart from ID, face, there is facial verification, looking left and right, opening your mouth, blinking, I think AI has limitations in that regard. there is only one question, why do people use a $15 ID for very little or no use at all?

This is very concerning, not just for the exchanges, but then how those exchanges will react to this issue. They will definitely make it harder, or even asking for more personal document. The worst case scenario is those exchanges could have a join operation with the government so that they can cross-check government database for a fake AI-Generated ID, in the exchange for people's crypto transaction.

I think the cex are part of the reasons why these individuals are going through the backdoors to get themselves verified. I have personally tried to verify myself on some cex with my genuine credentials and yet these exchanges reject my application for verification. Now, do you think I won't pay $15 to get a fake id just to verify if that will solve my problem?
Not everyone doing this have evil intentions.

The first time I saw the implications of using AI software was on Tiktok. I discussed that earlier on one of the thread about the dangers of using centralized exchanges and it seems even the centralized exchanges aren't aware of this yet and since some of them use a third party service to help them verify customers with their software, the new developed AI are penetrating them without boundaries, even scammers are using the Apps to scam victims from dating scams and other fraud to get money from people.

If care is not taken, most of this exchanges might even as people to redo the KYC that has been passed before and it might even be worse the second attempt because they will only create a room for more AI generated videos and pictures. They need to know that the world is developing, they need to find a way to curb fraud as the government instruct them, they should fold because they are government tools and must be ready to comply everytime.

No exchange is using a cross-over examinations with a government database for foreigners.
The only ones that do so are one licensed in a few western countries that do this only for their citizens, like in the US and UK, and you can count on the finger the ones in question. Binance is using scrive, only the naive would think a EU based company would have a protocol with the Venezuelan or Congolese govemermnt and they would check every serial and number for the ID they receives.

No doubts, With the advancement in technology and especially with the recent AI take over that has gone way far in mimicking someone's voice, face and lot of all that, it is still very possible that AI can generate fake ID cards that could pass an exchange KYC verification process, but will be possible only with exchanges with unsophisticated KYC authentication process, but to pass KYC process on exchanges like Binance, I kind of wonder if that would even be possible with their rigorous KYC verification process.

Now i wonder whether people who use this AI will also sell AI-gGenerated IDs on darknet to earn more money.


Even government would use it as excuse, where all business forced to comply. And i don't expect it'll be followed with more strict data protection law.

Let me ignore the conspiracy theory, but how is this tool creating a global secure digital identity when it is generating fake identities in order for people to bypass KYC requirements anywhere it is required. I know that if you use this fake identities, you get to keep your own real identity, but it is fraudulent and favors scammers and criminals, rather than committing this fraud because you think you want to protect your privacy, just use decentralized exchanges.

What are the chances that this AI tool has been created or sponsored by powerful entities to further their ambitions in creating a global secure digital identity?

It's a matter of concern now how accurate the verification process is. How is the provider verifying identification without proper investigation? Fake means their data isn't stored with official authorities. When it is submitted for verification, it should be detected by KYC verification providers. Usually, exchanges use a third-party KYC verification system. If the KYC verification system becomes broken, then scams will rise again. Most scammers will use it and find smart ways to scam. So exchange should enhance the verification system.

What is old and what is new in this KYC verification?
You're putting too much faith in the verifications done by those companies, they sometimes don't even have the basic understanding of local government ids.
This $15 picture is pushing the limits of laziness but no exchange would be able to tell if your ID is actually valid or not or if its' real.

One of my former gaming friends had an old ID he uses for KYC , that document is not valid anymore as he has a new address new number but the girl at the center instead of shredding it just cut a tiny corner of the id which the guy glued together and laminated once more over it. He has passed Binance and Coinbase verification with it as it's as real as one can get but the damn thing hasn't been valid for years although the date will still allow him to use it for a few more years.



And those are just pieces of paper, what stops you printing your own?
My bank send me monthly statements password protected in a zip in email, but the PDL isn't even locked I would simply edit my name and write Stompix the Great and print it, no exchange would be able to say it's fake!


Exactly!
No current exchange actually check if the IDs are valid, they only check if it's not grossly forged but no exchange is in a relation with a government agency to check if that guys actually exist or its a real person! There is no such cross check, as long as that ID is valid and you resemble that guy you can pose with a dead man ID and they would have no way of knowing.

It makes P2p no longer safe, because of the doubt of the actual identity of the other person that has been verified by the exchange. What if the person fooled the exchange by using one of this fake AI generated ID cards. Another bad use of a technology that should be of benefit.
Say it is not a dishonest casino or exchange, Can we suggest solutions for them because asking for other more personal documents is not a solution. If AI can do this already, creating a fake Identity card, then it will also be able to create a fake of any other personal documents that casinos and exchanges may decide to start asking users for. Since there is news of this happening already exchanges and casinos should become aware and maybe try to implement a technology that is able to detect the difference between a real identity card and a fake one generated using artificial intelligence. If this technology does not already exist, maybe it can be developed.

That's a pretty bad news because dishonest casinos and exchanges will use it as an excuse for asking more private documents to their customers. Most, if not all exchanges and casinos ask selfies, so it's very hard to deceive them actually. In addition they can ask extra documents so the AI used has to also be able to fake them.

Technology is getting more sophisticated, everything can now be done with AI, and selling KYC to an exchange for $15 and it passes, of course this will be a task that must be done by the Exchange so that no Fake AI profiles can get through. $15 for KYC is very cheap and this will be targeted by people who don't want to do KYC. There must be more valid scanning of identity on the exchange, if it is a fake identity then there will be account freezing and that will definitely happen. Exchanges also need to evolve and must leverage AI as well to check the identity of each user.

As far as our local exchanges go, they are very strict with the implementation and execution of their KYC process.

To give you a concrete example, not only does our local exchange (coins.ph) require you to submit government issued IDs, they also require you to submit additional documents (e.g. bank statements, ITR, etc.) to strengthen your position on their exchange. Not to mention, it also requires some movement behind their registration process like moving your head sideways, etc. for them to accurately tell if you are using fake IDs or not.

Though the above-mentioned exchange have implemented their KYC in a very strict manner, I still hope that some exchanges follow this example. The only downside is that it may push others to not register and avoid the said exchange due to stringent requirements.

Exactly, so we have an old CEX like .stamp that became famous for its crazy checks (some members described their experiences), to those that encourage people to elegantly bypass the rules and even help them to do so. At the end of the day, it all boils down to making as much money as possible while spending as little time as possible on things like KYC.

For a few hundred $ you can buy the account of a well-known CEX together with the card, and it is even sold quite legally on this forum. They will not mind that the account is opened in country X, and the money is spent in country Y.

Most exchanges use some generic KYC verification system from a third-party provider, and only really start to clamp down on fraudulent accounts if they are forced to by governments. Like if they are ordered that they either have to do that or face heavy millions of dollars fines, suspended licenses, and possibly even arrest.

People are happy that AI is making things easy, not thinking about their dangerous works like this one stated in the OP. Passing KYC has became mandatory in almost all centralized exchanges before having access to trading with them that is why people are generating ways to bypass them; this is very dangerous because it can be used to hack into people’s account especially if someone have some of your details and decided to use AI to generate your ID for some selfish purposes.

The idea of using AI generated ID’s to pass KYC is good and will protect our privacy, but it’s sign that our Centralized exchanges are not reliable anymore, they are supposed to have solutions to such fake identities so that scammers will have limited access to their exchanges.

The best thing to do to be completely safe is to avoid leaving our assets in the exchanges wallets, always buy and trade with exchanges then move your funds out immediately.

Like why the stress for this? Is it a must to use a centralized exchange for your crypto trade? Are there no more Dex that people can use to sell or buy their Bitcoin? I don't see the need to spend $15 dollars on a AI generated ID, it makes no sense.

If you are trying this hard to avoid KYC then don't use any centralized exchanges, I still use them because I don't care, it's been how many years since many crypto exchanges have come and go? The worst I heard is how they collapse with users funds, I have never seen where stolen identity by an exchange land anyone in problem.

All it will require is investigation, unless people buying this stuff to bypass KYC have some hidden agenda, maybe they are criminals, it's the same reason why I don't see reason people use mixers to hide their transaction, like what are they even hiding? Bitcoin is the only true decentralized digital asset, nothing else, it's enough, I don't have to hide my identity trading online or buying crypto assets.

Real face test is also not foolproof and in many occasions people proved that the liveness test can be bypassed using Deepfake and this isn't even a new but day by day the technology is getting better so the results can be more realistic than in the past. Exchanges have to be careful but what we can expect them to do? Whatever they set then someone will develop a technology that can be used to bypass the new criteria in very few weeks.

I hope you know that though Op did not state it but you can use AI to generate live video and also you should know while exchanges like Binance and Kucoin may have a strict kyc verification, that does not mean it can`t be by pass, in fact with AI its more easier, even doing this live video is possible and it has been existing even since 2022 because Chatgpt 3.5 which as a real time information from 2022 downwards knows this.

Exchanges will be somehow happy, since they will be able to ask for a more private info from the user while if any data breach or they sell the data, the customers face the consequences.
Its funny how government classify Bitcoin as a currency use by fraudsters and terrorists while their beloved AI is been use for crimes like fraud, identity theft and others, yet is still something for the growth of humanity, that does not need strict regulations. Though one is accepted as a positive impact to the world, while the other as volatile  asset with more negative impact to the world

People will do anything just to get some dollar especially when it seems legit and they are ignorant of what is at stake while others may be fully be aware it, they will still opt for it with the reason that they are not a public figure or any other of such. Here is a link about an Article where the founder of Chat gpt were paying Kenyans around $50 for doing retinal scan for the Worldcoin 2023, which is a coin created by him https://techpoint.africa/2023/08/02/make-50-for-an-eye-scan/

At least in Brazil, the fake IDs are already a common market here. You paid just a few bucks to have them. Driver's licenses, personal IDs, credits card. You choose the person and they make very realistic fake documents. So now with the AI's ascension its not surprising that the face swap wil happem in this market.

It is not just shocking but absolutely ridiculous. Why spend $15 to get a fake AI generated image when you can pay someone under the bridge $8 for a real fake identity or even visit a blackmarket website for it? Here you go from the same article.

Not that I support crime but I would say that Anyone who will spend $15 over $8 is not smart.

This is a wakeup call to exchanges to stay ahead of scammers when it comes to security. They should be constantly innovative. That being said, having examined the fake  AI generated ID, I can say thag they are no different from a Photoshopped image.

Using someone else's real identity without their permission is a felony in many countries, whereas a FAKE ID that is not a real person's information or likeness is usually not a felony, just a misdemeanor.

In short, AI-generated ID's will be extremely popular in the criminal underworld. We should expect an explosion of crime using such methods, and an ensuing crackdown by central authorities.

I expect this technology to drive legislation for secure global digital identity, possibly blockchain-based.

Remember the time when new bounty companies appeared every hour, and they did not hesitate to declare that to receive their shit tokens, bounty hunters would have to undergo a document check? It’s not difficult to guess where these documents were intended and how many people wanted to send them their documents to get at least five bucks.
I think even now there will be plenty of people like this who don’t think about their privacy, like, for example, registering somewhere and “selling” your account for pennies.

What about a liveness check? As far as I know, most exchanges require a liveness check to complete the account verification. Even I have failed liveness check verification a couple of times because my photo on the ID card is too old without a beard but I have gained weight a lot and I have a grown beard now. How AI will help verify the liveness check? I don't think it's possible.

Here is another fun fact. You don't have to spend $15. If you ask people from 3rd world country to verify an account for you and offer $5, they will happily do it for you. I have seen a group of people who are hunting bounty and they do KYC on every platform where they may get some possible rewards.

Yes, actually things like this have happened many times before, and if you have editing skills then you can use someone else's identity and put your face on that identity and do KYC.

I also think that platforms are actually not that serious about taking care of kyc and they do it because regulations require it, if there were no such regulations I'm sure many platforms would not want to collect kyc because it only adds work but doesn't generate any profits.

A lot I've seen can be spotted by a human eye provided you pay enough attention. For instance, the awkward movements particularly with the way they speak, looking like a hyper-realistic game character, etc.

The problem is, it can be enough to fool some idenity verification solutions which every fintech service in compliance with kyc/aml policies use by default. Manual verification where a person comes in is provided on special cases.

With how rapid AI tech is developing, it's expected that deepfake contents are gonna be looking more believable over time + much easier to reproduce.

This is not good and will help scammers to scam more easily than before. These fake passport,CNIC and driver license was created in Photoshop or other photo studio app which need experience and time but now with the help of this tool everyone can create fake IDS in seconds.

I have a question, Is there any AI image detective tool introduced so far just like text ,as we know already introduced and we can easily detect by using copyleaks and hive moderation for this purpose. If it's introduce then I think it will be easy for CEX to verify otherwise it is big challenge for CEX.

That's true but this time, it's AI generated and it's much easier. Before, it's from someone who collects these IDs in any source that they can get it.

Maybe in the dark marketplaces for which majority of the IDs there are either fake or came from hacking and that's why it is so unethical to purchase from any of those and of course, it's not your identity.

That trader will definitely face the consequences if he's not going to do it. While we don't like exchanges or any service that requires us KYC, on this matter, if you love your funds and saved cryptos, you don't have to get into these services of buying fake identities.

It doesn't necessarily need to be Binance for it to work. Binance is one of the very few exchanges that have rigorous KYC process that you mentioned in your post for many CEX, just your ID document pic and a selfie us more than enough and both of which can ve generated via an AI. I can only assume that KYC providers like Onfido will begin rolling out support for detecting these kind of services. They probably shouldn't have been it known since it gives KYC providers an idea on how to combat it.

AI generated videos can be used through camera injection attack and can be real time:


I did hear some providers like jumio has started incorporating AI tech to improve detections so it's gonna be a race between them. But I'm leaning towards deepfakes being more ahead as I think detection requires more meticulousness.

At present time, some softwares as well were successfully fooled by obviously deepfake personas from a human eye, see: https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/18/23092964/deepfake-attack-facial-recognition-liveness-test-banks-sensity-report

For anyone crypto exchange user, they will already know that such services are just potential scams waiting to happen, this is because the accounts that are verified via a fake ID will definitely lead to account problems along the line, and reputable exchanges will definitely discover those accounts under such condition and status.


So for a trader who wants to use the exchange to trade large coins will definitely avoid this kind of service because it will eventually lead to problems in the long run.

I can't help but wonder if this is a case of a lazy worker on the exchange side or if this AI-generated passport actually worked.

this is what I think too, they'd need the personal information of someone else in order to bypass verification. this just further proves how dangerous it is to give out personal information online.

So it's up to this exchanges, and to be fair, they hire 3rd party to handle their KYC. so the burden is now on this entities to level up or be on the lookup for this fake AI-generated ID's now as this is the new thing for criminals. They can really used it to register, pass and then use those exchange for whatever purpose it could serve them. And when we think that we have captured them because they used this CEX, then the authorities might be in for a surprises as the document is fake but it goes through this exchanges without noticing it. So in the long run it could really hurt this exchanges. So they better hurry up and make new softwares to detect this fake documents immediately.

very soon it will be even free to do, since they have achieved doing that on pictures and text contents, there's nothing they cannot achieved with the use of the artificial intelligence, very soon now, industries and organizations will have to be making their requirements under specification that go against the use of any AI related presentation, also thanks to the scientific technology developers whom had deem fits in contending against the identification of anything that has to do with the use of AI, there are systems and software that detect any use of AI just as we have in plagiarism.

It seems like there are just scammers or a group of developers who have nothing to do with their resources rather than develop an app or something that can be used to break what others have built. The more technologies are advancing on this, online stores, banks, and exchanges for KYC verification are making it harder for someone who is not real to pass their verification, so a group of people somewhere is busy building something that can break those security protocols.
 
Unless it's in a critical state, exchanges and other platforms will find it discomforting to start asking their customers for video verification. They do ask, but those ones are likely being verified by their AI tools, which they have also built for such purposes, which means that scammers can still look for a way to outsmart those steps. With the lot of video editing data we have all over the web these days, it's scary knowing the lengths these scammers can go to make a point.

OMG, this is totally insane I mean I did not realize the verification process of centralized or decentralized exchanges would be that bad, OKX is a good exchange I have used it for airdrop purposes but never did p2p on it so I think I am safe for the time being and thanks for sharing this news, I will spread it like fire. Along with this, I also heard there is a listing of Binance users' information on dark web. I don't know how true is that, but the hacker was offering names, contact numbers, addresses, and other information.

I don't know how that information got leaked, by getting my email and address, and phone number should not be a big work for a hacker to get from some exchange, I mean we can get these information from person's profile on p2p pages or can't we?

Well, AI is awesome and can be problematic at times. But all the fiels now have to integrate AI and have to take care of the bad side of it also. Crypto exchanges are no exception either, They now have to come up with a KYC where AI may not be able to fool them and they can do it using the AI also. And that is why i am loving this AI era.

What I'm most curious about is the data that was fed to the artificial intelligence to enable it generate the IDs. It most likely would be tons of actual data, presented in the most natural way to enable it render a believable output.

Do not submit your data to any website.

This is not a fake news as it's been reported by multiple sources, as a matter of fact I did a google search and more than 10 crypto media outlets has this news. So you can believe whatever you want to believe, but I can tell you that scammers are gaining upper hands with the use of AI.


Scammers can bypass realtime video KYC using deepfake. You can visit the links to know more.

- https://youtu.be/t59gRbpYMiY?si=a6PrOSNl44fnH75s

The reason why AI-generated fake IDs were able to pass crypto exchange KYC is that most of the crypto exchanges only check for the ID genuinely which an AI-generated ID will easily succeed in if they never contact with the user's country of residence government ID personnel for more deep verification. However, some private ID verification companies have access to the information, and only the exchange that partners with them will be able to detect fake IDs.

This is so unbelievable, can this be possible?
My very first experience with binance was tough as they are very sensitive to every KYC, when you tried to pass the first KYC with faje indentity you can not try to pass the other ones because the whole documents you will be asked for must have the same informations without any errors.
Believing this, I can't tell if this can be so positive, if it works in other exchanges they can not work in all as some of them are more sensitive that the other. Binance is more sensitive than any other exchanges, all the informations will be yours you can not use your documents to verify KYC and still use anotherones bank or any other payments option which are not yours.

Since you really want to know how this scammer can use this to scam exchangers, if you check very well on the aspect of the P2P option for those exchanges that have it enabled, one of the safest advises to stay away from scammers is to deal directly with someone whose name matches the account they are paying with.
 
So it's possible these scammers can go steal money from someone stacking them on a particular account and then use this AI ID card generator to get an ID pass the verification, and the name they will use will be that of the account they set up for wire fraud. In such a case, they can easily carry out their scam successfully without you, the exchange users, noticing this, and at the end of the day, the money will be traced down to your account.


Not all exchanges use this old carrion of ID verification again, like asking you to hold your ID in your hands and snap before sending. Now, most of the time, all you need to do (like the Binance you use, for example) is provide the ID card on the required space, and they will move you to the next face, and this space is where they will do a video verification.
 
For someone who has been able to buy ID only for a particular entity, they can go as far as getting a video of the same person they use to pass verification using two gadgets in play. They can outsmart the KYC algorithm they use for facial verification.
 
Identity theft is real, and people are going to lengths just to prove and convince any human or machine that they are who they claim to be. Don't be all convinced with the latest procedures that scammers can't pass; the more they advance, so are those scammers.

If you think that CEXs obey the law down to the smallest detail, then you are living in a big delusion, because they not only close their eyes and turn their heads to the other side whenever possible, but also help users to become legal in their system in an illegal way. The CEX you mention is one of those that owes its success precisely to its work on the edge of the law, or better said in the gray zone, which is why they are banned from working in many countries.

That's what surprised me, nowadays it's not enough with just a fake ID, they ask you to record a video with your face and holding the ID, so it's not enough just to use an AI to make the ID, in any case if with the AI they make a video of you too, it will probably fit. The moral of the story is that I think we should be more careful than ever with our privacy, as our data can be used for scam attempts using current technology.

I mean, you cannot stop and fight back AI. It's going to be much stronger than what we can even think of. Anyone with already pre-trained model of this AI can make Fake Passports and IDs at their home without even paying $15, if they make it open source and still KYC companies will not be able to ban them. They have literally no way to find if it's AI based or no.

The only possible solution to this is Realtime Video KYC.

Well, neural networks are starting to be so harmful that all the joy from their appearance gradually turns into the opposite. Exchanges that require customer verification will begin to impose absurd requirements to ensure that their customers are the people they are. We will wink, jump, and grimace to prove our identity.
All these innovations from enterprising creators of such tools will soon shoot themselves in the foot. There will come a time when it will be difficult for a real person to prove that he is exactly him.

You expect someone like me to believe this? If KYC passed this type of documents then they sucks at it big time, maybe they are using the old KYC verification process, anyone who use their $15 to get such KYC won't be able to pass Binance Exchange KYC verification.

There is only one way, your A.I shaped face on the I.D must come to live, and hold the I.D in it's hand and pass live Video KYC verification that is available on Binance Exchange, there is no taking picture behind the scene and uploading it on the exchange, you need to do it, live.

So tell me, how is this going to work? Eventually that $15 is a thrown away money, you will be picky because of Exchanges to use such ID, better avoid exchanges with KYC verification or use your very own ID.

this is very concerning.
but it is the fault of OKX's KYC system too. most exchanges have facial recognization features too in their kyc requirements. you have to open your mobile webcam and complete a facial recognization test.
I don't know why a prominent exchange like OKX missing that.

I know this development will now mark a new shift in KYC processes, another burden of technological innovation. However, a CEX with good KYC providers or rigorous KYC process will easily detect these as fakes.

Apart from beating the KYC requirements of CEX exchanges and platforms, I do not know how this could be used to scam exchange users. From the article, it is not a case of data theft, just AI doing its thing. It is the exchanges that need to be more careful before scammers use their platforms to launder funds by passing their KYC with fake identities that cannot be traced.


Exchanges require selfie with the IDs, so how will that be possible with this AI generated IDs? I know that anything is possible like printing the ID on plastic cards but then, I don't know if they already explored that option. f the scammer do that, the real face of the scammer or someone trying to evade KYC would have been captured. What do you have to say about that?

Shockingly it is just $15 to get a fake AI generated driver licenses and passports. It has been reportedly succeeded KYC verification on many crypto exchanges.



Exchange users need to be careful. People are many on centralized exchanges and this makes it for scammers to look for people to scam.
