Generative AI&nbsp;is allowing&nbsp;attackers to&nbsp;industrialise&nbsp;digital impersonation at&nbsp;scale. To defend against this,&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;must be able to&nbsp;establish&nbsp;genuine human presence in digital interactions to ensure trust and security.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence of the growing threat is reflected across the wider industry. According to the&nbsp;Ponemon&nbsp;Institute, 41% of&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;have experienced deepfake attacks targeting executives, while a September 2025 Gartner study found that 37% of cybersecurity leaders have encountered deepfake incidents during video calls. Recent cyber incidents, including those affecting Marks &amp; Spencer and Jaguar Land Rover,&nbsp;demonstrate&nbsp;how gaps in identity and access security can leave&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;exposed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The iOS security gap<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attacks targeting iOS devices accelerated rapidly throughout 2025. While the first half of the year saw a 14% increase in injection attacks, activity surged in the second half, rising by 1,151% compared with the same period in 2024. This reflects the&nbsp;industrialisation&nbsp;of techniques that are now deployed&nbsp;at&nbsp;scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deepfakes strengthen their hold on the enterprise<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deepfakes are increasingly being used beyond identity verification systems and into everyday corporate workflows, particularly across video-based interactions. Advances in image-to-video generation, driven by widely accessible AI tools such as Kling AI and Nano Banana, are making it easier to create highly realistic synthetic identities from minimal source material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Globalisation&nbsp;of crime networks with Southeast Asia leading the way<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identity fraud is becoming increasingly&nbsp;globalised, with Southeast Asia&nbsp;emerging&nbsp;as a testing ground for new techniques. During 2025, the region experienced a 720% increase in attacks during Q3. Once proven, these techniques are adopted and scaled by criminal groups in other regions,&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;Latin America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iProov\u00a0has\u00a0released its 2026 Threat Intelligence Report.
