“We tested 10 solutions and we found that nine of them were extremely vulnerable to deepfake attacks,” Sensity’s chief operating officer, Francesco Cavalli, told The Verge.

“There’s a new generation of AI power that can pose serious threats to companies,” says Cavalli. “Imagine what you can do with fake accounts created with these techniques. And no one is able to detect them.”

However, there are a number of identifiy verification solutions, such as Konfirmi, that offer modern, reliable ID verification services WITHOUT using your biometrics data such as facial recognition. Learn about the Konfirmi system at konfirmi.com

Forgetting passwords may happen but can be detrimental to security. Learn how to to protect your passwords using Single Sign On SSO login and other methods.

The Single Sign On (“SSO”) authentication method allows your customers to confirm who they are by logging into their accounts with popular apps, like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.

With this verification method, your customer enters their login credentials into a secure portal opened separately from the Konfirmi widget. If your customer is able to sign in to their third-party account, they are confirmed by the widget.

SSO allows you to stop bots and other fraudsters in their tracks. It also prevents negative ramifications from potential data breaches on your website since the customer login data is not stored anywhere on your site (or the Konfirmi widget) so any potential data breach would never contain that login data.

All of Konfirmi's verification methods — including SSO — can be used by itself, or with other verification methods such as MFA/2FA, age verification, customer info checks, ID checks, and more.

Organizations in India face a six-hour data breach reporting deadline, following the introduction of new rules by the country’s computer emergency response team, CERT-In.

The new rules will apply to critical parts of India’s network and IT infrastructure, including service providers, data centers, government organizations, and corporations.

The reporting window is much shorter than those in other large economies: in the EU, the GDPR mandates that breaches are reported within 72 hours. Incidents can be reported by phone, fax or email.

Organizations covered by the rule must keep logs for 180 days after an incident.

Internet shopping is booming! US American ecommerce grew 50.5% from 2019 to 2020, and 14.2% in 2021 according to DigitalCommerce360. Ecommerce isn’t just for giants like Amazon and Walmart. Smaller online retailers have taken notice of the rising tide, especially in attempt to keep their businesses afloat during pandemic lockdowns.

The speed at which all of this has happened has led to frightening gaps in the effectiveness of age and customer verification scattered about the vastness of ecommerce.
