Police allege that the suspect planned to use the fraudulently obtained credentials in further cybercrimes.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged fraudster targeted a security company authorized to issue digital certificates and bypassed its identity checks using forged documents, altered photographs, deepfake tools, and a carefully arranged lighting rig.<\/p>\n<p>The verification process required a live video check comparing the applicant&#8217;s face with the photograph on the identity document.<\/p>\n<p>He allegedly used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/software\/2026\/02\/05\/uks-deepfake-detection-plan-unlikely-to-work-says-expert\/4916688\">deepfake technology<\/a> to alter his face in real time so that he could bypass the visual identity checks, and used custom lighting to recreate the appearance of each document&#8217;s holograms.<\/p>\n<div data-element-guid=\"afe083ca-6701-48e9-9bd8-f8827dd7fb42\" class=\"lab4 column articleList layout_vertical imageLayout_left small-12 large-12 small-abs-12 large-abs-12 abs_grid_12 grid-vas-start mobile-grid-vas-start\">\n<div class=\"content border_width_0 border_width_mobile_0 border-radius-48 border-radius-mobile_48\">\n<h2 class=\"article-list-title t19 font-RobotoCondensed\">MORE CONTEXT<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The alleged perpetrator used household spotlights with strategically placed colored bulbs to simulate the flashes and security features found on physical identity documents under real light,&#8221; police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policia.es\/_es\/comunicacion_prensa_detalle.php?ID=16974\">said<\/a> (machine translated).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He then balanced the counterfeit documents in front of the webcam, perfectly recreating the official holograms. He also used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/networks\/2026\/07\/14\/hands-off-our-vpns-privacy-groups-tell-uk-ministers\/5271070\">VPNs<\/a> to anonymize his connections and employed manipulated documents with apparent security features.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police did not say how many of the 38 attempts succeeded, only that certificates were issued on &#8220;multiple&#8221; occasions.<\/p>\n<p>His luck allegedly ran out when the face-changing software suffered a momentary processing delay. The disguise dropped for &#8220;barely a second,&#8221; exposing his real face to the verification camera, police said.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators eventually identified and located the suspect, who was arrested on suspicion of repeatedly forging official documents. A search of his home yielded a laptop protected by high-grade encryption, several mobile phones, storage devices, and documents, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation was complicated by the use of more than 320 phone lines across 24 devices. Most had allegedly been registered under stolen identities, with police tracing their sale to outlets in the Murcia region. \u00ae<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
