Dark Web Marketplaces: Unmasking the Underground Economy of Stolen Credit Cards

Card-not-present: Mastering the delicate balance between authorization and fraud prevention

Merchants and FIs are united in their goal to get as many cardholders across the CNP finish line as possible, while minimizing fraud risk. The “how” of this is the difficult part. Join this interactive discussion with Datos Insights and Outseer to learn the latest insights on successful strategies and best practices on how card issuers are maximizing their opportunities to provide stellar CNP experiences to their cardholders, while at the same time effectively managing their fraud risk. The session will also discuss the evolving regulatory environment. Key insights include:

 * Authorization rates are higher and fraud rates are lower in countries where the majority of CNP traffic invokes 3-D Secure.
 * There is still significant room for improvement in the usage of enhanced data fields in 3DS 2.x.
 * Many issuers are actively migrating to more secure and user-friendly authenticators such as biometrics and mobile app push.
 * Other jurisdictions, such as Australia, are poised to follow the EU’s lead in mandating strong customer authentication for CNP transactions.

CNP Fraud and the Role of 3-D Secure: The Tale of Different Countries

Info-stealing malware like RedLine, Raccoon, and Vidar poses a significant threat to both organizations and individuals. While traditional banking malware might be detected as it phishes a customer on a banking page, modern information-stealing malware loots the browser for saved passwords and data out of band from potential malware detection on the page. Adding in the growth of “Fraud-as-a-Service" illicit vendors who offer info-stealing malware and support services to technically less sophisticated actors, and we now see an explosion of malware-enabled fraud from attackers who previously could only press social media scams, email scams, and other social engineering enabled non-technical attacks.

Key Takeaways from this Webinar:

• Understanding Prominent Threats: Delve deep into the mechanics of dominant info-stealing malware families, comprehensively understanding their tactics and evolution.
• Proactive Defense Strategies: Discover how FraudAction's adaptive algorithms, real-time data analysis, and collaborative threat intelligence to effectively hunt and take down command-and-control servers and provide a formidable barrier against advanced cyber threats.
• Empowerment Through Knowledge: Equip your organization with actionable strategies to respond to data breaches efficiently, safeguard sensitive credentials, and maintain a robust digital security posture.

Unmasking Info-Stealing Malware and Credentials Recovery with FraudAction

Los pagos rápidos (o transferencias immediatas), han surgido de manera fragmentada (país por país) durante las últimas dos décadas. Este enfoque aislado es, sin duda, el que los defraudadores preferirían que las autoridades de pagos adopten, ya que les facilita atacar las diversas redes individualmente, en lugar de un enfoque unificado para pagos más rápidos que podría aprovechar la inteligencia de red colectiva y tecnologías de mitigación de fraude. Y los defraudadores definitivamente están capitalizando la promesa de "pagos más rápidos, fraude más rápido", con apropiación de cuentas (Account Takeover) industrializada y vectores de ataque basados en estafas.

Únase a este webinar para aprender sobre nuevas investigaciones del Grupo Aite-Novarica, patrocinadas por Outseer, que exploran los puntos débiles y las soluciones enfocadas al fraude en pagos en tiempo real en la región. En cada geografía se repiten a gran escala vectores de ataque ya conocidos, mientras que también hay variaciones interesantes entre los distintos países. Si bien los puntos débiles son reales, la buena noticia es que existen soluciones que están funcionando, y este webinar también las cubrirá en profundidad. ¡Te esperamos, ven y únete a la discusión!

From Scam to Cash Out: Follow the Money Trail

Faster payments have emerged country-by-country over the past two decades in a patchwork manner. This piecemeal approach is by far the one that fraudsters would prefer that payments authorities take, since it makes it easier for them to attack the various networks individually, as opposed to a unified approach to faster payments that could leverage collective network intelligence and fraud mitigation technologies. And fraudsters are definitely capitalizing on the promise of “faster payments, faster fraud,” with industrialized account takeover and scam-based attack vectors.

Join this webinar to learn from new research from Aite-Novarica Group, sponsored by Outseer, that explores the pain points and planned solutions associated with real-time payments fraud across the U.S., U.K., Brazil, India, and Canada. Each geo is seeing some tried and true attack vectors repeated at scale, while there are also interesting variations across the various countries. While the pain points are very real, the good news is that there are solutions that are working, and this webinar will also cover these in depth. We look forward to having you come and join the discussion!

Faster Payments, Faster Fraud: Solutions to Stop the Madness
