Fraudsters Changing Targets: Banks Still at High Risk
Digitally based fraud attacks on the global financial services industry have risen 18.8% in Q2 of this year. In the Unites States alone, this figure leapt 38.3%. Fraud attacks on banks and credit unions have reached alarming new highs.
However, even as fraudsters continue to target the financial industry, a new focus of their crimes has emerged, the global entertainment and leisure industry.
While banks and credit unions are a major target of fraud, criminals have begun exploiting holes in the entertainment world as well. The video game industry saw a 393% increase in fraud while travel and leisure experienced a 156% increase, globally.
In the U.S. those figures rose 261% and 136% respectfully.
To combat this growing threat, gaming companies, as well as online travel booking agencies and their transactional portals should implement proven anti-fraud systems that operate in real-time.
As frauds continue to increase in the entertainment and leisure industries, customers will begin to shift their consumerism towards more trusted, better protected options. This could lead to a mass exodus from weakly protected companies to strongly protected companies.
To stay competitive, retain customers and grow a userbase, businesses operating in this new target space need to assure their customers that all their data, money and personal identifiable information are protected.
