Show ▼
Cybercriminals impersonating financial institutions are running a financial fraud campaign that uses phishing sites, social engineering, and bogus websites to take over accounts and move money. The activity now affects individuals, businesses, and organizations across sectors and has caused more than $262 million in losses since the start of the year. The scale and breadth make it a high-risk account takeover (ATO) operation rather than isolated fraud cases.
