A survey found that 58% of key decision-makers in large UK businesses view fraud as a "serious threat". Synthetic threats, which use fabricated data, AI-generated content, or manipulated digital identities, have become more accessible with generative AI tools. This has led to the creation of synthetic identities used to bypass KYC checks and access services, while deepfakes are being used to impersonate executives during video calls or in phishing attempts.
