Purported Face‑Swap Technology Reportedly Used to Circumvent Financial Platform's Facial Recognition Security in Nanjing, China
In Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, a defendant (Fu Mou) was convicted in October 2024 for allegedly using AI‑powered face‑swap software to bypass an unnamed financial platform's facial recognition system. Authorities reported that he obtained over 1.95 million pieces of personal data, accessed 23 victims' payment accounts, changed passwords for several, and used one linked bank card to make purchases. Prosecutors said only one platform was successfully breached.
