Federal prosecutors in Manhattan say an online fake ID factory has gone from shady corner of the internet to national security headache.
On Thursday, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, Jay Clayton, warned that OnlyFake, an online service that produces counterfeit identity documents, now poses a nationwide threat to fraud prevention and public safety. Clayton said, “We rely on government issued IDs daily to combat terrorism, hijackings, fraud, money laundering, and a host of other crimes.”
The warning came in a short post on X that named OnlyFake directly and did not mention any arrests, indictments, or charging documents behind the public alert.
