Phishing email fraud is a type of cybercrime in which attackers send emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or credit card company. The emails often contain a link that, when clicked, takes the victim to a fake website that looks like the real website. Once the victim enters their personal information on the fake website, the attacker can steal it.

Phishing email fraud is a major problem. In 2021, it was estimated that phishing emails cost businesses and individuals $26.3 billion.

There are a number of things that can be done to fight phishing email fraud, including:

Educating users about phishing: Users should be taught how to identify phishing emails and how to avoid clicking on links or opening attachments in suspicious emails.

Using security software: Security software can help to detect and block phishing emails.

Keeping software up to date: Software updates often include security patches that can help to protect against phishing attacks.

Be careful about what information you share online: Only share personal information with websites that you trust.

By taking these steps, we can help to fight phishing email fraud and protect ourselves from cybercrime.

Deepfakes have circulated online for years, with one of the first going viral in 2018 when actor and director Jordan Peele teamed with BuzzFeed News to make a viral public service announcement in which Peele impersonated former President Barack Obama. At the time, the trickery required working with two computer programs, and it took 56 hours to finish processing.

Deepfakes have circulated online for years, mostly as warnings. Now, the proliferation of advanced video manipulation technology has made them easy to produce.

It has been 3 years since I received my CFE credentials ( Certified Fraud Examiner ) to become globally recognized as a Fraud Fighter. In those 3 years, I have created my educational podcast "Let's Talk Fraud" & served for the last 2 years as a board member at my local ACFE Chapter and also played a leading role as the "Training & Education" Director.

Getting the CFE credentials definitely set my professional career on a very special trajectory that has been a time of lifelong learning, meeting new colleagues and so much more.

Looking forward to more years to come of fighting fraud and spreading the needed awareness for a better world with fewer fraudsters.

And remember that POWER doesn't corrupt PEOPLE, it's the opposite way!

PEOPLE corrupt POWER! Let's speak up and fight those BAD apples out there!

Thank you Association of Certified Fraud Examiners for building this community.

I am honored to be a part of it.

SIF involves fabricating a new identity procured from a mixture of fake information and authentic personally identifiable information (PII) stolen from multiple victims. The synthetic identity might use a legitimate Social Security number (SSN) and birth date from a real person, as well as random false data, to fill in any gaps.

What synthetic identity fraud looks like today
The diversity, velocity, and scale of synthetic fraud attacks has intensified as fraudsters continue to leverage new approaches and technologies to achieve their ends. SIF is well-suited for innovation because of the seeming legitimacy of the manipulated or manufactured identity, and has spawned a host of fresh fraud trends.

SIF no longer flying under credit unions’ radar.

The scheme works like this: A fraudster posing as a professional creates a fake profile and reaches out to a LinkedIn user. The scammer starts with small talk over LinkedIn messaging, and eventually offers to help the victim make money through a crypto investment. Victims interviewed by CNBC say since LinkedIn is a trusted platform for business networking, they tend to believe the investments are legitimate.

Fraudsters who target LinkedIn users in sophisticated investment schemes pose a "significant threat" to the platform, the FBI tells CNBC.
