Researchers have developed a new adversarial attack that can evade facial recognition systems while preserving embedded watermarks. This attack, termed PGD-L_2, uses spatial and spectral preservation techniques to reduce the similarity of a face to known identities without causing significant pixel distortion or high-frequency changes that would interfere with watermark recovery. The attack demonstrates that a face image can remain valid according to watermarking standards and appear visually faithful, yet be unreliable for biometric identification. AI
