What is push fraud and how can you avoid it?

Fraudsters stole more than half a billion pounds from UK bank customers in the first six months of 2018, newly published figures show.

And of the total £503m taken, almost a third was lost through so-called Authorised Push Payment (APP) scams – where people are tricked into authorising a payment to another account.

This type of crime is “Britain’s fastest growing”, and the latest figures, from industry group UK Finance, suggest that “2018 will see a sharp increase in the amount stolen from 2017, when victims lost £236m over the whole year”, The Daily Telegraph reports.

The 3 Biggest Phishing Scams of 2018

Phishing schemes are still one of the most serious threats to companies. Even internet giants like Google and Facebook got duped out of $100 million through an email phishing scheme when a hacker impersonated a computer-parts vendor.

According to the FBI, criminals made off with at least $676 million last year thanks to so-called business email compromise campaigns, which are attacks designed to trick company executives or accounting departments into sending money to fake vendors.

Anyone that has paid attention to the financial world lately should be aware of the way that the crypto community has been suffering.

Drug dealers, tax evaders, rogue miners, cyber criminals, and ICO scammers are just a few of the potential issues.

Users that succeed in staying out of the way of this kind of crook that robs the industry of almost $9 million daily are few and far between.
