As part of the Assets Growth Hub commitment to keeping your account and information safe and secure, we want to make you aware of several common business cyber fraud scenarios as well as actions that you can take to help protect your business from becoming the next cyber fraud victim.

 
FRAUD

Fraud involves deliberate acts of deception with the intent to obtain a gain, cause a loss or expose others to the risk of loss.

Globally, US$4 trillion is projected to be lost to fraud each year, as fraudsters become more adept at using technology. More than two in five consumers worldwide have experienced fraud online.

 
PHISHING AND WHALING

Phishers pretend to be trustworthy entities like banks or credit card companies and send out emails and instant messages prompting users to send sensitive information confirming they are the owners of the accounts. Phishers are now sending out text messages, too (SMiShing). In voice phishing, or vishing, emails ask recipients to make phone calls to dummy numbers where voice prompts ask for credit card numbers.

In the fraud world, whaling targets high-worth individuals on social networking sites such as LinkedIn. The popularity of social media is helping make advanced phishing methods even easier, given the availability of personal information on publicly viewable profiles. Fraudsters search profiles for descriptors such as vice president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer and target those high-level executives with what appears to be a subpoena or legal action.

 
MONEY LAUNDERING

Money laundering enables illicit finances to be hidden within the legitimate financial system. It is estimated that criminal organisations generate USD5.8tn in proceeds every year, with as much as USD4.4tn available for laundering.

The three stages of money laundering

  1. Placement criminal monies are put into the financial system.
  2. Layering the money is moved in the financial system to disguise its criminal origin.
  3. Integration the money is absorbed into the financial system, appearing legitimate.
