AU10TIX Q1 2025 Global Identity Fraud Report Reveals New Attack Mode: "Repeaters" Test Detection Systems in Preparation for Mega-Attacks
AU10TIX has released its Q1 2025 Global Identity Fraud Report, revealing a new fraud technique called "Repeaters" - minor variations of digital assets used by fraudsters to test detection systems before launching large-scale attacks. The report shows a 33% increase in Repeater usage between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025.
These sophisticated attacks, powered by Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS) toolkits, target sectors like payments, cryptocurrency, and social media. The report highlights a significant case where 2,000 variations of a single synthetic identity were used to attack multiple banking and crypto platforms. AU10TIX emphasizes that consortium validation, which involves cross-checking data across organization networks, is crucial for detecting these threats.
AU10TIX ha pubblicato il suo Rapporto Globale sulle Frodi d'Identità del primo trimestre 2025, svelando una nuova tecnica di frode chiamata "Repeaters" - variazioni minori di asset digitali utilizzate dai truffatori per testare i sistemi di rilevamento prima di lanciare attacchi su larga scala. Il rapporto evidenzia un aumento del 33% nell'uso dei Repeater tra il primo trimestre 2024 e il primo trimestre 2025.
Questi attacchi sofisticati, alimentati da toolkit Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS), prendono di mira settori come pagamenti, criptovalute e social media. Il rapporto sottolinea un caso significativo in cui sono state utilizzate 2.000 variazioni di una singola identità sintetica per attaccare diverse piattaforme bancarie e di criptovalute. AU10TIX sottolinea che la validazione in consorzio, che consiste nel confrontare i dati tra le reti delle organizzazioni, è fondamentale per individuare queste minacce.
AU10TIX ha publicado su Informe Global de Fraude de Identidad del primer trimestre de 2025, revelando una nueva técnica de fraude llamada "Repeaters" - pequeñas variaciones de activos digitales usadas por los estafadores para probar los sistemas de detección antes de lanzar ataques a gran escala. El informe muestra un aumento del 33% en el uso de Repeaters entre el primer trimestre de 2024 y el primer trimestre de 2025.
Estos ataques sofisticados, impulsados por kits de herramientas Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS), apuntan a sectores como pagos, criptomonedas y redes sociales. El informe destaca un caso significativo donde se usaron 2.000 variaciones de una sola identidad sintética para atacar múltiples plataformas bancarias y de criptomonedas. AU10TIX enfatiza que la validación en consorcio, que implica la verificación cruzada de datos entre redes de organizaciones, es crucial para detectar estas amenazas.
AU10TIX는 2025년 1분기 글로벌 신원 사기 보고서를 발표하며 "Repeaters"라는 새로운 사기 기법을 공개했습니다. 이는 사기범들이 대규모 공격을 시작하기 전에 탐지 시스템을 시험하기 위해 사용하는 디지털 자산의 미세한 변형입니다. 보고서에 따르면 2024년 1분기에서 2025년 1분기 사이에 Repeater 사용이 33% 증가했습니다.
이 정교한 공격들은 Fraud-as-a-Service(FaaS) 툴킷에 의해 구동되며 결제, 암호화폐, 소셜 미디어 등 다양한 분야를 겨냥합니다. 보고서는 단일 합성 신원의 2,000가지 변형이 여러 은행 및 암호화폐 플랫폼을 공격하는 데 사용된 중요한 사례를 강조합니다. AU10TIX는 조직 네트워크 간 데이터 교차 검증을 포함하는 컨소시엄 검증이 이러한 위협을 감지하는 데 필수적이라고 강조합니다.

Ces attaques sophistiquées, alimentées par des kits d'outils Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS), ciblent des secteurs tels que les paiements, les cryptomonnaies et les réseaux sociaux. Le rapport met en lumière un cas important où 2 000 variations d'une seule identité synthétique ont été utilisées pour attaquer plusieurs plateformes bancaires et cryptographiques. AU10TIX souligne que la validation en consortium, qui consiste à vérifier les données entre les réseaux d'organisations, est cruciale pour détecter ces menaces.
AU10TIX hat seinen Globalen Identitätsbetrugsbericht für das erste Quartal 2025 veröffentlicht und eine neue Betrugstechnik namens "Repeaters" vorgestellt – geringfügige Variationen digitaler Assets, die Betrüger nutzen, um Erkennungssysteme zu testen, bevor sie groß angelegte Angriffe starten. Der Bericht zeigt einen 33%igen Anstieg der Nutzung von Repeaters zwischen Q1 2024 und Q1 2025.
Diese ausgeklügelten Angriffe, unterstützt durch Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS) Toolkits, zielen auf Branchen wie Zahlungsverkehr, Kryptowährungen und soziale Medien ab. Der Bericht hebt einen bedeutenden Fall hervor, bei dem 2.000 Variationen einer einzigen synthetischen Identität verwendet wurden, um mehrere Banken- und Krypto-Plattformen anzugreifen. AU10TIX betont, dass Konsortiumsvalidierung, also die Überprüfung von Daten über Organisationsnetzwerke hinweg, entscheidend für die Erkennung dieser Bedrohungen ist.

AI-Powered Consortium Validation Proves Essential for Detecting These Subtle Variations of a Single Digital Asset
The rapid evolution of AI has ushered in a new wave of industrialized identity fraud, with malicious actors targeting sectors like payments, cryptocurrency and social media with automated mega-attacks involving thousands of synthetic identities. At the core of this trend are Repeaters, which are designed to evade both KYC checks and biometric defenses by mimicking genuine facial behavior and spoofing liveness checks.
The report identifies Repeaters as an early warning signal for businesses and sheds light on modern identity fraud tactics. Bad actors typically begin with a handful of low-profile entry attempts, quietly probing an organization's defenses for vulnerabilities. When viewed in isolation, these fraudulent ID documents look genuine and thus frequently escape detection. Once a few Repeaters have successfully bypassed a platform's KYC checks, those same assets can be deployed across multiple platforms in coordinated mega-attacks with minimal risk of detection.
The only proven method of identifying these early indicators is a consortium validation approach, which involves cross-checking data across a network of organizations. Successful Repeaters are indistinguishable from valid IDs at the case level, but once an ID has been received by any organization in the consortium, it is easily flagged if another consortium member receives it in any permutation.
"Repeaters are the fingerprint of a new class of fraud: automated, AI-enhanced attacks that reuse synthetic identities and digital assets at scale," said Yair Tal, CEO of AU10TIX. "We're proud to be at the forefront of detecting and blocking these attacks through advanced pattern recognition and real-time consortium validation."
One notable mega-attack outlined in the report involved 2,000 different variations of a single synthetic identity used to target multiple banking and crypto platforms. This underscores the scale and speed at which Repeaters can propagate once inside the fraud ecosystem.
AU10TIX's Q1 2025 Global Identity Fraud Report offers three actionable insights to help organizations:
- Shift from static to behavioral detection: Track repetition across sessions, devices, and onboarding events to identify coordinated fraud early.
- Embed consortium signals into fraud defenses: Fraud rings operate across industries, so protection should too.
- Audit for synthetic identity vulnerability: Adapt and acknowledge that deepfake content and image-template attacks can bypass traditional KYC solutions.
