EP 405 - How Meta Uses AI and Tech to Fight Scams and Fraud at Scale - David Agranovich - Director, Global Threat Disruption at Meta

Scam operations have transformed into highly organized, cross-border networks that function less like lone criminals and more like global enterprises. These groups build physical infrastructure, create vast fleets of fake or stolen accounts, and use AI to generate convincing messages, voices, and identities.As David Agranovich, Director, Global Threat Disruption at Meta, explains on this episode of ATP, today’s fraud ecosystem spans physical compounds in Southeast Asia, cross-platform digital infrastructure, and AI-accelerated content generation.Some of the topics that David covered in detail included:Scam networks now operate like multinational corporations. The are armed with hundreds of devices, routers, and workers...industrializing fraud.COVID did not just reshape work culture, it supercharged online crime.A scam is not a message, it is a carefully crafted lifecycle. Scams have a structured attack chain, similar to cyber-warfare kill chains.Modern, scaled scams are inherently cross-platform so combatting fraud requires coalitions, not silos.Fraud detection and defenses require tech companies to collaborate in this space, not compete.
