AI is giving cybercriminals a powerful new tool: the ability to create convincing digital doppelgängers.

In this episode of "Fraud Frontlines," Kathleen Peters, Chief Innovation Officer for Experian Identity and Fraud, joins Michael Bruemmer, Vice President of Global Data Breach Resolution at Experian, to explore how this emerging threat fits into a rapidly evolving cyber landscape. Drawing on findings from Experian's 14th annual Data Breach Industry Forecast: Consumers at Risk, they examine how AI is accelerating cyber threats, challenging consumer trust and reshaping the future of digital identity.

Drawing on 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, Michael explains how AI is acting as a "turbocharger" for cybercrime, enabling criminals to enrich stolen data and operate at unprecedented scale. The conversation also explores the rise of "digital doppelgängers": synthetic replicas built from years of breached data, publicly available information and behavioral signals.

As consumers face an increasingly persistent threat landscape, they're also experiencing "breach fatigue." Some are responding by creating alternative or masked identities to protect their personal information, creating new challenges for businesses trying to distinguish legitimate consumers from fraudsters.

Looking ahead to 2027, Kathleen and Michael discuss the need to modernize data breach notification laws and rethink identity verification. They explore how technologies such as passkeys, liveness detection and behavioral analytics can help organizations establish human authenticity, and why consumer trust is becoming an increasingly important strategic asset for businesses.

Tune in to learn how organizations can navigate AI-driven cyber threats, strengthen identity protection, and help build a more secure digital ecosystem.
