Since our founding in 2019, we’ve checked over 170 million documents.
Now, we’re sharing some of the most prominent data we’ve found. Over 2025, especially, we have seen some worrying trends:
1 in 3 documents appear to have been tampered with,
Of these, 1 in 10 are fraudulent,
Of those, 1 in 50 are part of serial fraud schemes.
Now that we’re in 2026, we’ve observed a rise in fraud of 28.5%.
Professional or amateur, serial fraud is taking an ever-increasing part of that, growing 7 times.
The biggest jump in detections, a 90% increase, was from Gen AI editing or document generation. These numbers climbed even higher right after November 2025, which coincides with the release of Nano Banana Pro.
It’s not just Generative AI that is making fraud easier than ever. What we call the “fraud supply chain” has improved, with more and more middlemen and infrastructure for fraudsters.
For example, we’ve found up to 100 account farm websites and 55 Telegram channels which sell approximately 160,000 pre-verified accounts from 3,000 institutions. This new avenue only compounds the 160+ template farms we’ve already catalogued.
Having tools like this close to hand helps fraud rings scale up operations quickly.
These are just the headline figures.
Here's what you'll learn:
- How to distinguish professional from amateur fraud in your data: And why this changes your detection strategy, automation thresholds, and resource allocation
- What kind of fraud your specific sector is exposed to: Which document types are targeted, what kind of tactics are used, and what this means for your controls
- What industrial-scale serial fraud looks like in practice: Cluster patterns, campaign durations, and attack bursts that reveal coordinated fraud operations
- How to build document risk policies that match 2026 threats: Moving beyond simple checks to frameworks that address professional attack patterns
- 2026 threat predictions based on 170M documents: Where fraud is headed and what to prioritize in your prevention roadmap
