The new fraud: where is it coming from and what does it mean?
Businesses can be the target of fraud in numerous ways and from numerous sources. Anyone who does business with an organization is an obvious risk—suppliers, clients, employees, executives—the high profile fraud cases of recent years have mainly been internal. But increasingly, fraudsters have no connection to the organizations they target. They may be after credit card numbers, personal information, cash or goods, and they’re using methods beyond the understanding of the average businessperson. Organizations that do a significant amount of business online must be particularly careful.
