Fraud attempts have surged, with a reported increase of 80% over the past three years, as highlighted by Signicat. The rise in fraudulent activities has been attributed to the growing sophistication of techniques, particularly the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfake technology. In 2024, financial fraud losses in Mexico reached approximately 14.5 billion pesos, with identity theft being a prevalent cause. The financial sector is facing challenges as identity fraud rates increased by 84% per 1,000 applicants in digital financial institutions. The emergence of AI-driven misinformation and deepfakes is also raising concerns about national security, as these technologies are exploited by malicious actors for scams and propaganda. As International Fact-Checking Day approaches on April 2, organizations are emphasizing the importance of verifying content to combat the spread of AI-manipulated information.
