2025: Product Announcement

On May 14, 2025, VisionLabs announced the launch of Deepfake Detection technology capable of recognizing video graphics with 99.3% accuracy. The MTS ID KYC remote identification service was the first in the telecommunications sector of Russia to implement this system to protect against digital fraud.

According to the press service of VisionLabs, the new solution determines all the most common types of deepfakes: face replacement and generation, facial expression transfer, lip synchronization. Algorithms are constantly being trained and able to recognize deepfakes created using any modern services, even with poor video quality.

The MTS ID KYC service is aimed at companies obliged to check the identity of customers in accordance with the requirements for identification and anti-fraud, including 115-FZ requirements. The system provides remote identification using selfies and passport photos, which allows customers to receive services without visiting the office - take microloans, increase limits, open electronic wallets.

In addition to Russia's telecommunications sector, Deepfake Detection technology has begun to be used by major banks in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to prevent money withdrawal and loan processing fraud.

The solution complements the anti-fraud algorithms Liveness from VisionLabs already built into MTS ID KYC, which determine that there is a living person in front of the camera, and not a printed photo, video on a smartphone or a 3D mask. Thus, Liveness technology protects against "physical" attacks with face substitution, and Deepfake Detection - against digital attacks with video stream interception.

Evgenia Igumnova, head of the commercial direction of the MTS ID product portfolio, noted that the VisionLabs deepfake detector will be available to all users connected to MTS ID KYC, which will ensure a high level of client service and security amid an increase in the number of phishing attacks.
