Federal Reserve Releases Account Takeover Fraud Mitigation Toolkit and Enhancements to Existing Toolkits
The Federal Reserve FedPayments Improvement
Reports of financial scams and fraud are continuing to escalate in number and sophistication year over year. The use of modern technology and the increase in new, emerging tactics are helping criminals be more successful than ever in their attempts to steal funds from individuals and businesses. Even older, less complex methods of fraud and scams are becoming more believable and harder to identify due to current techniques.
To address these new advancements in payments fraud, the Federal Reserve released a fourth toolkit – the Account Takeover Fraud Mitigation Toolkit – which details what Account Takeover Fraud is and how it happens.
Additionally, substantial enhancements have been made to our Scams Mitigation Toolkit and our Check Fraud Mitigation Toolkit including a robust selection of new downloadable resources, and three new interactive “Test Your Knowledge” sections.
