About the webinar

In the current days when the world is impacted by COVID-19 pandemic we observe an increased fraudster's activity trying to explore new weaknesses  at the moment. The heightened level of fear and uncertainty is creating new opportunities for fraudsters to scam people out of their money. The international law enforcement agency has listed a number of phishing and social engineering scams that have been reported to it by member countries in the wake of the COVID-19 emergency.

The risk of identity and credentials theft significantly increased due to a variety of scams related to coronavirus situation. As consumers are looking for credit to support their disturbed income, fraudsters are hiding amongst the commotion by using identities theft to commit application fraud.  In parallel the customer behavior is changing – closure of branches and the desire to bank from home are migrating to the digital world.  This is especially true of elderly people and this demographic is unfortunately least prepared for the risks of Account Takeover.
