The report deals with the use of facial biometrics to unlock phones, access banking apps and control entry to buildings and companies, and with the case of a criminal group in the Federal District that turned to artificial intelligence to break into more than 500 bank accounts. It offers guidance such as avoiding sending selfies to strangers, restricting video calls to trusted contacts and combining biometrics with passwords or tokens. The specialist describes the most common method, in which the criminal lures the victim into a video call and then reuses the recording to authenticate services, and comments on the pressure on companies to analyse behavioural patterns in transactions.
