Jake Moore believes the identity stack is broken. But instead of just willing his belief into reality, the global cybersecurity advisor for ESET demonstrated why his assertion has truth.<\/p>\n

At the RSAC 2026 Conference in San Francisco, Moore delivered an entertaining and enlightening session titled \u201cFacing Reality: Hacking Facial Recognition\u201d that illuminated how AI tools are affecting security. His demonstration clearly illustrated the importance of biometric Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) and Injection Attack Detection (IAD).<\/p>\n

He did this by conducting tests and experiments. Opening a bank account using an AI-enabled false identity, for example, or tricking a facial recognition system into believing that he is Tom Cruise. He conducted these tests \u2014 with the aid of a lawyer friend to avoid legal trouble \u2013 on institutions that the general public interacts with.<\/p>\n

In Moore\u2019s opinion, the market has adopted facial recognition technology \u201ca little bit too early.\u201d He wanted to make a point about how exposed people have become in an era of affordable facial recognition and off\u2011the\u2011shelf AI tools. Prior to ESET, Moore worked for 14 years in the UK police\u2019s Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime Unit.<\/p>\n

Experimenting with bank accounts, live CCTV feeds, with Amy\u2019s legal help<\/h2>\n

So, with the blessing of a lawyer friend named \u201cAmy,\u201d he ran a simple experiment. He uploaded Amy\u2019s face into PimEyes \u2014 a public facial\u2011search engine \u2014 to see where her image appeared online. The results, he told the audience, were a reminder of how easily a stranger could gather material for social engineering attacks without technical know-how.<\/p>\n

From there, Moore escalated the demonstration. He bought a pair of Meta Ray\u2011Ban smart glasses, the kind with a built-in camera and real\u2011time information features. Then he paired them with a colleague running Corsight, a commercial facial recognition system.<\/p>\n

As he walked around his office, the colleague fed…<\/p>\n
