The digital economy is very different. Information is the life blood of the digital economy, and cyber-security attacks are theft of information, sometimes with real financial implications. While too many companies have not revisited their cyber-security arsenal to meet the demands of the digital economy, the regulators have been busy to update the minimally acceptable levels of protection of individuals and their identity in the digital ecosphere. Many companies will be burned by the punitive damages levied by regulators and the reputational damage which impinges upon the ability to conduct digital commerce.
This writing will go through what it means to be cyber-safe in the digital economy and defines a framework that should be used by all organizations to identify the leakages in information either directly leaked by them or syphoned off through imposters misrepresenting the organization. From the regulatory and consumer vantage point, there is not difference, the organizations conducting digital commerce are required to perform the due diligence necessary to provide assurance to consumers that their digital interactions with organizations are secure and safe.
Many companies will appear in the tabloids with massive fines and punishment in the capital markets due to lapses in judgement when it comes to meeting their obligations for cyber-security. Unfortunately, it will take examples made of such companies before the actions necessary to protect the consumer willing to conduct digital commerce is taken seriously. Many of the organizations will not survive the anticipated disruptions.
Hybrid intrusion detection systems (hids) using fuzzy logicShakas Technologies
Hybrid intrusion detection systems (HIDS) using fuzzy logic can help address the growing problem of cyber crimes on computer networks. As organizations, governments, and educational institutions increasingly rely on interconnected computer systems, the risk of intrusions, data theft, and sabotage has increased. Conventional intrusion detection systems can be deceived by intruders who combine different types of attacks. Applying computational intelligence techniques like fuzzy logic to intrusion detection can help systems better recognize complex or combined attack patterns, alert administrators to the nature and severity of threats, and take measures to prevent intrusions.
The document discusses emerging threats to digital payments and outlines steps businesses can take to protect themselves. It notes that cyber attacks are a major security risk and new payment methods are fueling more attacks. The problems section details how criminals exploit new technologies, learning resources, and expanded access points. It asks questions around detecting and responding to attacks. The solutions section recommends training, vulnerability scanning, network segmentation, access control, monitoring, and intelligence sharing to help close security gaps against sophisticated attackers.

The effects of COVID-19 on businesses and global supply chains are being felt around the world. Aside from the economic impact, there have also been illegal and legal consequences, with an increase in cybercrime and business fraud, as cybercriminals try to take advantage of these uncertain times.
Cybercriminals will leverage various techniques in 2020 to steal consumers' personal and financial information, according to Experian's annual data breach industry forecast. These include using text messages ("smishing") disguised as fundraising initiatives to target online communities, hacking into unsecured public Wi-Fi networks using drones, and creating fake videos and audio ("deepfakes") to disrupt large enterprises and governments. Experian predicts identity theft will rise as cybercriminals exploit the growing use of mobile payments at venues like concerts and sporting events. Organizations must strengthen defenses against these evolving cyberthreats through employee training, security precautions, and rapid response planning.
The document summarizes cyber threat trends in 2018 according to a Symantec report. It saw a rise in formjacking attacks that steal payment card data, though cryptojacking activity declined along with cryptocurrency values. Ransomware infections decreased overall but rose for enterprises. Living off the land attacks using tools like PowerShell increased substantially. Targeted attacks grew more sophisticated with groups targeting operational systems and destructive malware.

Cyber Claims: GDPR and business email compromise drive greater frequenciesΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Business email compromise (BEC) has overtaken ransomware and data breach by hackers as the main driver of AIG EMEA cyber claims, according to the latest cyber claims statistics.
Nearly a quarter of reported incidents in 2018 were due to business email compromise (BEC), up significantly from 11% in 2017. Ransomware, data breach by hackers and data breach due to employee negligence were the other main breach types in 2018.
Cyber Defense for SMBs offers guidance to help small and medium-sized businesses identify the most cost-effective best practices to help improve their business’s cybersecurity posture. Published by the Florida Center For Cybersecurity and written by cybersecurity experts from academia, private industry, government and the military.
Ransomware-as-a-Service: The business of distributing cyber attacksΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Ransomware is proving to be a profitable endeavor for cyber criminals. It is also what is fueling a newer trend: the business of offering management of ransomware attacks, or Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS).
Fueled in part by the ability to use cryptocurrency to avoid detection, cyber criminals are setting up shop as a managed service provider, helping other cyber criminals conduct business on their platforms for a fee. For that fee, cyber criminal groups get personalize access to platforms, complete with dashboard capabilities, that allow them to easily distribute their ransomware. Also included – technical support. Such full-service offerings mean that nearly anyone with internet access can launch a ransomware attack without any technical knowledge needed.
And why not? The estimated return on investment from ransomware campaigns can easily reach 1400%. The lure of a lucrative return could well attract beginners or anyone with a grudge. For organizations, the threat coming from a well-backed beginner is as damaging as one coming from a career criminal.

UPI transactions in India have grown rapidly to over 1 billion per month, demonstrating growing digital payments. However, this growth also brings increased risk of cybercrime and online fraud. Truecaller data of 500 million users and the WhatsApp spyware attack highlight risks to personal data as digital payments rise. Online payment fraud in India doubled in 2019 according to one report. Experts say payment companies and merchants must strengthen security measures to prevent data breaches and reduce fraud risks as digital adoption increases. "Vishing" scams that manipulate victims into sharing banking details are also increasingly common according to reports of hundreds of UPI fraud cases. Detecting such social engineering frauds technologically is difficult given their human element.
- Cybersecurity spending has grown significantly over the past decade, from $3.5 billion in 2004 to an estimated $120 billion in 2017, driven largely by increasing cybercrime.
- Many large companies have significantly increased their cybersecurity budgets in response, including Bank of America which has an unlimited budget for cybersecurity, JPMorgan Chase which doubled its budget to $500 million, and Microsoft which invests over $1 billion annually.
- However, small and medium businesses are particularly vulnerable as they bear 72% of cyber attacks but often lack the resources of larger companies to implement robust cybersecurity programs. Highground Cyber aims to help small and mid-market CEOs protect their companies through comprehensive cybersecurity solutions.

This document discusses network security issues for mobile network operators (MNOs) in Africa. It notes that as smartphone adoption increases across Africa, network security remains a high priority for MNOs due to threats like cybercrime and fraud. Common security issues include SIMbox fraud, which involves using boxes of SIM cards to make illegal international calls. The rapid growth of mobile services in Africa has outpaced the development of robust security systems, making networks and customers vulnerable. MNOs are fighting back against fraud through measures like seizing SIMboxes and tightening SIM security, but will need more integrated security approaches to address evolving threats from domestic and international criminals.
This document discusses cyber law and its impact on cyber crime. It notes that while cyber crimes are increasing globally and costing businesses trillions, the laws governing cyber space have not kept pace with the growth of the internet. There is still a huge challenge to develop comprehensive international regulations and laws to address coordinated cyber attacks across borders. It argues that some structure around jurisdiction, privacy, commerce and other issues is needed to help curb cyber crime, but that regulating the internet is complex given its global, boundary-less nature. Enhanced international cooperation around cyber law enforcement is important for addressing cyber threats.
This infographic highlights key stats and messages from the analyst report from J.Gold Associates that addresses the growing economic impact of mobile cybercrime and fraud.
Five cyber threats to be careful in 2018Ronak Jain
It is not true that people are safe from hackers because they only target big companies for money and other purposes. Every person using debit or credit cards, doing online transactions, using the internet can get affected by cyber threats. You may lose money before even recognizing the situation. Simple mistakes from users open the entry for virus and malware coded by hackers.
Discussing how to deal with frauds occurred in e-banking channels by implementing end-to-end controls (deterrent, preventive, detective, responsive, corrective and recovery), the line of defences as well as deploying numerous anti-fraud strategies.
This document discusses cybercrime and its economic impacts. It reports that the global cost of cybercrime is estimated to be $445 billion annually, and that over 800 million people were affected by cyber espionage and theft in 2013. Financial losses from cybertheft could cause up to 150,000 job losses in Europe. Cybercrime damages trade, competitiveness, innovation and global economic growth by slowing the pace of innovation. Governments are called on to systematically collect and publish cybercrime data to help countries and companies assess risks and policies.

Equifax, one of the largest credit reporting agencies in the United States, was recently the victim of a massive cyber attack - an attack that may have compromised the personal information of 143 million people. Learn how to see if you've been impacted.
The document discusses the biggest cybersecurity threats to watch out for in 2020. It predicts that fintech applications, mobile banking, and e-commerce platforms will be prime targets for hackers due to the financial motivation of cyber attackers. Additionally, the document states that 43% of online attacks target small businesses due to their lower security resilience. The document also discusses how the global internet may bifurcate between the Chinese-led internet and non-Chinese led internet by 2028 due to increasing technology divides. Businesses will need to ensure they comply with varied privacy and connectivity laws governing regional technologies as the internet segments.

Online Fraud: How to Avoid Internet Scams in the Workplace

information that will be contained in each section
Introduction

Online fraud refers to deceitful schemes that are done using the internet. Online fraud may
come in the form of financial theft, identity theft or a combination of both.
History of Online Fraud
An influx of online fraud began to be experienced in the 1990s with the increased technology
use and e-commerce. In the beginning, online fraud was done by using the names of famous
celebrities of the time to commit internet crimes. Over time, more technical and sophisticated
plans were developed such as creating card-generator applications with real credit card
numbers, setting up dummy merchant websites and mass identity theft. Today, despite
attempts by various governments to regulate and mitigate online fraud, more sophisticated
online fraud schemes have been established ranging from credit card fraud to phishing,
hacking, and identity theft (Saeger & Probert, 2015).
In the recent past, computer fraud has evolved through a series of advancements outplaying
the traditional security defenses such as the two-factor authentication, antivirus, and SSL
encryption in the process. Zeus and SpyEye are the most common attack tools used by
hackers since they support the gathering of vast volumes of extremely sensitive
authentication data. It has been established that no single application is immune to attacks
and the malicious attackers are focusing more on online banking accounts because they offer
HOW TO AVOID INTERNET SCAMS AT THE WORKPLACE 3
most direct payoff. Online fraud is based on three core technologies: the botnet controllers
capable of handling hundreds of thousands of bots, highly effective data collection, and
sophisticated Trojans that are updateable.
Form grabbing for PCs running IE/Windows has been a simplified approach for fraud. The
technique helps attackers to extract data within browsers. The deployment of form grabbing
on compromised PCs allowed hackers to obtain numerous numbers of online bank account
IDs and passwords. The password-based authentication was termed no longer safe for online
banking prompting the introduction of two-factor authentication (Mellinger, 2011).
Nevertheless, criminals still found the loophole that helps them to challenge the security of
two-factor authentication through web injects. Malicious attackers that promote online fraud
have created various techniques.

Nine people have been sentenced for their involvement in a $2.6 million income tax refund fraud scheme. The scheme involved using stolen identities to file fraudulent tax returns and collect refunds. Over 700,000 IRS files were breached, putting many people at risk of identity theft. Cybersecurity experts warn that cyberattacks now affect nearly every company, but many are not taking a proactive approach to prevention. Internal access controls are also challenging due to the rise of mobile devices and remote access.

Why is cyber security a disruption in the digital economyMark Albala
As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
The digital economy is different than other versions of commerce because in the digital economy, information is the lifeblood of digital commerce that passes through the hands of many platforms involved in a digital event. Each of these platforms are an opportunity to wreak havoc on your well-intended but incomplete intents to protect the information contained within the network you control. In the digital economy, it is not only the network you control, but the platforms that touch the personal data entrusted to you as a means of enabling digital commerce, and several techniques have begun to emerge to protect personal information contained within your information domain and the domain of platforms participating in digital commerce.
Because the life blood of the digital economy is information, information hacked in the digital economy is akin to shrinkage in the legacy economy. Both are means to directly attack your bottom line, whether it is redirecting customers elsewhere because they don’t trust your privacy program, ransomware which makes your site or one of your partner platform sites dangerous to use or some other reason which challenges your ability to participate in the digital economy. Shrinking the potential market share because of information safety and security challenges is a disruption, making cyber-security a disruptive activity, particularly if it is not dealt with swiftly.
If your cyber-security program is focused entirely on protecting the information housed in your four walls, you have exposed yourself to problems you will have difficulty in identifying both the source and the entry point of these issues.
Cybercrime poses a significant and growing threat to the mortgage industry and other businesses. Criminals are targeting consumer financial information through cyber attacks on companies, and the scale of cybercrime now exceeds the illegal drug trade with estimated annual profits of $100 billion. While many businesses have been slow to adopt security standards, the mortgage industry and LOS providers in particular must take steps to protect borrower data, such as obtaining cyber liability insurance and undergoing independent security audits. As technology continues to evolve, cybercriminals will as well, requiring ongoing vigilance to safeguard against new threats.
Cyber-attacks destroy the trusted relationship with customers and partners, the lifeblood of financial services. The industry is also behind the curve when it comes to adapting to the changes in working practices and consumer behaviour, driven by rapidly evolving smart devices.

1. SECURITY THREATS IN
REALESTATE
The FBI periodically provides reports on cyberattacks in the U.S., to bring awareness to this threat. In 2017, they warned of a large
spike in cyberattacks specifically targeting real estate companies. Without a federal law requiring real estate businesses to implement
information security programs to protect information and systems, each business becomes responsible for setting policy and finding their
own cyber security solution. Left to their own actions, many businesses are not aware of the critical need to protect against cyber threats
and are open to breaches. For real estate businesses, this has led to a focus for hackers for potential attacks on the vulnerable systems.
Here are some of the more common threats in the real estate industry:
Banking Trojans: Malware that gets in between the user and an online banking session. Once they have the user's credentials
they can potentially steal the total amount of the transaction.
Spyware: Hackers will send an email with an attachment or link and as soon as the user clicks on it the criminal gains access
to the user’s machine. They can:
• spy on their victims and get their banking information
• wipe out victims’ accounts
• steal personal information (credit card numbers , driver license number, W2’s)
• steal employee information (client data, and employee Social Security numbers)
• infect the computer with additional malware or ransomware
Ransomware: This malware makes data on your device or network unavailable until you pay a ransom. Concerned victims
often pay making the ploy very profitable for hackers. One breach on your team can jeopardize all of your data not just for computers,
but also any device that is connected to the internet including smart locks, smart thermostats and even smart lights.
