Hackers can use social media to spoof facial detection security using VR modelisation
Another nice presentation from the 2016 Usenix symposium.
Virtual U: Defeating Face Liveness Detection by Building Virtual Models from Your Public Photos

We argue that such VR-based spoofing attacks constitute a fundamentally new class of attacks that point to a serious weaknesses in camera-based authentication systems: Unless they incorporate other sources of verifiable data, systems relying on color image data and camera motion are prone to attacks via virtual realism. To demonstrate the practical nature of this threat, we conduct thorough experiments using an end-to-end implementation of our approach and show how it undermines the security of several face authentication solutions that include both motion-based and liveness detectors.
