AI-linked antidetect browsers are helping scale scams and fraud

Antidetect browsers can create isolated profiles with different digital fingerprints, making accounts appear to come from separate devices. Digital marketing agencies and affiliate marketers use them to manage social media, advertising and e-commerce accounts, among other tasks. The software is not inherently malicious, but cybercriminals also use it to operate fraudulent accounts.

TechRadar reports that underground forums discuss using tools including Kameleo, AdsPower and Multilogin for fraud. Citing CPR, the report says attackers use antidetect browsers to test payment credentials on e-commerce platforms, apply for loans with fabricated identities and create fake accounts that generate advertising revenue.

AI may make these operations easier to scale, CPR says. AdsPower offers integration with large language models through a Model Context Protocol server, which can connect AI-powered workflows to browser profiles. It also offers automation templates for actions such as commenting, liking and messaging across accounts.

CPR warns that combining antidetect browsers, AI account management and AI-generated content can help attackers run coordinated campaigns with less human involvement. Fake accounts can be built up over time to appear more credible, making them easier to use in scams and fraud. CPR describes the ecosystem as commercially mature and increasingly AI-driven, with tools available in dozens of languages and support for large social media platforms.
