The retail sector approaches the 2025 peak holiday season facing a perfect storm. We are no longer contending with opportunistic human fraudsters or rudimentary scripts. We face a tidal wave of autonomous, generative AI-powered agents capable of mimicking human behavior. According to Ran Arad, a subject matter expert at Memcyco, we must view phishing, digital impersonation, and account takeover (ATO) as an interrelated lifecycle. Usually, a phishing attack provides the link to an impersonating site.

We’re proud to share that the INETCO BullzAI transaction firewall has been named among top innovators in the FRC Innovation List – November 2025, a showcase of technologies driving major advancements in financial risk and compliance.

The airline industry faces a critical security threat that cuts directly into profits and customer trust: loyalty account takeover (ATO) fraud. Frequent flyer miles function as a highly liquid digital currency. This drives a surge in theft across US carriers and global networks. Attackers are increasingly sophisticated. They use automated kits and deepfake phishing to seize accounts and quickly convert stolen miles into cash.

A new report from Entrust warns of an increase in deepfake attacks, which now account for one in five biometric fraud attempts. Additionally, instances of deepfaked selfies have increased by 58% over the past year. “This rise in deepfakes is part of a broader trend of increasingly sophisticated attacks driven by injection attacks, which surged 40% year-over-year,” Entrust says.
