Summary
OnlyFake, an underground website, employs neural networks to swiftly produce convincing fake IDs for just $15, potentially facilitating bank fraud and money laundering. Verified by 404 Media, the service allows users to input desired information and a passport photo, generating realistic IDs, even mimicking signatures. With its purported use of neural networks and generators, OnlyFake claims to churn out up to 20,000 documents daily, mainly for US identities. The IDs, backed by real-looking backgrounds, can pass online verification, posing challenges to platforms like OKX cryptocurrency exchange. While some companies, such as Jumio and Coinbase, aim to counter such fraud, OnlyFake’s AI-powered IDs present a formidable challenge. Wick, the service’s owner, aims to expand its capabilities, potentially including face and selfie generation. Discussions within OnlyFake’s community suggest a pursuit of solutions for video verification challenges. Senator Ron Wyden warns of the growing threat posed by AI-based tools, urging the adoption of secure authentication methods. This revelation comes amidst a broader trend of AI-driven fraud, exemplified by AI-generated voices and images, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
That can’t be done since the government goons will only accept the fiat that they provide as taxes. So use crypto for everything else. And then each year convert just a little of it to the currency they want, which you find worthless to pay your “taxes” with. If somebody gave me the choice between Fiat and crypto for a thing that owed me, I would take the crypto immediately because it is worth the same no matter where I go.
