Fraudsters increasingly targeting digital accounts

This week’s top story: We discuss how fraudsters are increasingly targeting digital accounts by compromising existing or creating fake new accounts – a surge of nearly 70% so far this year. Also this week, Idaho Governor Brad Little has set up a new task force to advance cybersecurity initiatives in the state, and has invited Kount’s Brad Wiskirchen to be one of the members. We also discuss how Citi Premier’s offer of 80,000 bonus loyalty points also creates opportunity for fraudsters, how businesses can protect their customers (and themselves) from online fraud, and how bad bots are creating click fraud, and the risks this poses to e-commerce businesses. #Kount5in5
