Antidetect browsers plus AI automation can scale account fraud, Check Point says
Original title: Gemini-Compatible AI Browsers Could Help Scammers Run Thousands of Fake Accounts, Researchers Warn
Check Point says Kameleo, AdsPower and MultiLogin profiles, proxies and stolen cookies can hide bulk fake accounts and phishing.
Check Point Research says commercial antidetect browsers Kameleo, AdsPower and MultiLogin, which alter browser fingerprints and pair with proxies, are discussed on criminal forums for account takeovers, payment fraud, fake loans and ad fraud. AdsPower advertises an MCP server for AI-driven browser automation; stolen session cookies can be loaded so an already authenticated session is reused. A cited underground post links Kameleo to Browser-in-the-Middle phishing, and Check Point says similar tooling was used against crypto exchanges and financial marketplaces.
Unconfirmed: The Gemini-compatible claim is a compatibility concern; researchers did not show a Gemini-driven campaign.
- AdsPower enterprise tiers support more than 5,000 profiles on request.
- Browser-in-the-Middle kits can assign a residential proxy and a clean fingerprint.
- Account editors cover Facebook, Amazon, LinkedIn, X, PayPal and Google.
- AdsPower MCP docs name Claude Desktop and Cursor, not Gemini.
- Defenders should watch proxy scale, odd session cookies and pre-authenticated access.
Impact: Scaled account fraud, phishing and reuse of stolen sessions
- 1.Review large-scale proxy use, unusual session-cookie activity and pre-authenticated access.
- 2.Reassess fraud controls that rely mainly on device consistency.
