If a cybercriminal steals your password, you can change it. But what happens if they steal your face? 

Former soldier turned hacker, Gary Ruddell and financial crime veteran, Nick Palmer, explore the actors behind GoldFactory - a cybercriminal group stealing users' facial recognition data to clean out victims bank accounts.

Joined by Craig Jones, who spent five years at Interpol as the director of cybercrime, Group-IB's Gary and Nick explore how masked actors are exploiting AI and Deepfakes for financial gain. 

In this episode, they dig into the novel tactics of this Chinese-speaking group who created a first of its kind iOS trojan to steal biometric data and bypass banking facial recognition security systems. Together they unpick how cybercriminals are adopting new technologies and franchising their efforts to manipulate more victims and increase their payoff.

By understanding who these actors are and how they operate, you can better anticipate threats and protect yourself in an increasingly hostile digital world.
