How does AI deepfake threaten the identity verification systems of exchanges?

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】 Currently, deepfake technology is rapidly evolving, and many countries around the world are becoming increasingly tense. Malaysia and Indonesia have already taken steps to restrict access to certain AI tools, and the California Attorney General’s Office is investigating complaints related to illegal synthetic images.

For crypto exchanges, this has become a tricky issue. Think about it—these trading platforms’ automated registration processes often rely on visual identity verification—users take a photo of their ID, and the system recognizes basic actions like blinking or smiling to approve the process. But now, advanced forgery tools can imitate these details so convincingly that the original verification logic is essentially invalidated.

KYC (Know Your Customer) processes were supposed to be a safeguard, but they have now become a weak link. Global crypto platforms are being forced to re-evaluate their security measures, and automated review systems may need significant overhaul, putting pressure on both operational efficiency and user experience.

Damn, KYC is now just a formality, deepfake technology is really incredible. --- No, no, we need manual review. The automated system should have been scrapped long ago. --- That's why I still use small exchanges; it’s all the same, getting exploited anyway. --- What’s the use of banning tools in Malaysia and Indonesia? Technology can’t be stopped. --- So can we still get airdrops now? It feels like the threshold is being raised again. --- Exchanges are getting desperate, user experience will get worse, and we’re the ones losing out. --- Deepfake vs. facial recognition, this arms race never ends. --- This is ridiculous, I can't even trust ID photos anymore. So what’s the point of verifying identity?

Uh, really? Deepfake can even fool blinking detection now? Hurry up and upgrade your technology for these transactions. --- KYC has become a mere formality; I've known for a long time that automated reviews are unreliable. --- Malaysia and Indonesia are moving quickly, but what about us... --- Wait, does that mean my previous identity verification was all for nothing... --- Exchanges keep causing trouble, operational costs keep rising, and in the end, users foot the bill. --- Manual review will have to be added sooner or later; automated systems should have been phased out long ago. --- Deepfake technology is truly incredible; it's hard to defend against it. --- Now, great, hackers have found a new way to make a living.

Here we go again, deepfake nonsense... The exchange's KYC will eventually become obsolete. --- No way, is it really true? Now even blinking can be fooled? Is my crypto still safe? --- Malaysia and Indonesia have taken action. What about our exchange? Just changing the UI is useless. --- I've said it before, automated verification is a joke. Now it's obvious, right? --- This is getting interesting. Platform efficiency has decreased, but our user experience is even worse. Who benefits? --- Basically, it's because regulation can't keep up with technology, always just patching things. --- Deepfake is so powerful now. Were my previous KYC approvals actually legitimate? --- No, why not add manual review? Do they have to cut costs at this point? --- I just want to know, what will happen to the dirty money that was scammed in? In the end, we’ll be the ones taking the blame.

Damn, now the exchange's KYC is really doomed. Is deepfake technology this powerful? --- So, no one can be trusted anymore, even IDs can be faked... --- That's why I still hold onto my assets without moving them. Exchanges are inherently unsafe. --- No wonder I've seen many exchanges adding facial recognition recently. Turns out some people are really implementing this... --- Speaking of which, if this becomes widespread, how will small exchanges survive? Haha --- They have to update their systems again. Brothers running these platforms must be having a tough time. --- Waiting to see which exchange gets hacked first. It’s bound to happen. --- It seems that multi-factor authentication is the only way. Relying solely on biometrics just isn’t enough. --- Malaysia and Indonesia are acting so quickly. Web3 regulation is getting stricter and stricter.

Wow, now the exchange players are going to go crazy. Once deepfake is rolled out, we all have to redo the KYC? That's such a hassle.
