SUMMARY:International Carding Fraud Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Most financial institutions are still playing defense against cybercriminals. By the time fraud shows up\, the damage is already done. \nThe reality? The earliest warning signs don’t live inside your firewall. They’re in the digital criminal underground. \nWednesday\, February 18\, we’re partnering with Q6 Cyber – a leading provider of proactive e-crime threat intelligence – to show how top banks and credit unions are getting ahead of payment card fraud by monitoring Deep & Dark Web forums and criminal “carding” infrastructure in real time. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn:\n– What the “Digital Criminal Underground” (aka the Dark Web) really is\n– Who the threat actors targeting financial institutions actually are\n– How stolen payment card data is harvested from breaches\, skimmers\, ATMs\, and gas pumps\n– How banks and credit unions are using this intelligence to prevent payment card fraud\, not just respond to it \nDon’t wait for the next breach.
