Account Takeover Fraud
An account takeover can happen when a fraudster or computer criminal poses as a genuine customer, gains control of an account and then makes unauthorised transactions. Here are some common types of security threats:
SMSishing
A form of phishing but uses mobile phone SMS, text messages or other messaging apps to trick the targeted user into providing sensitive information. SMSishing messages typically ask you to reply to the message or ask you to call a fraudulent contact number.
Phishing
Phishing e-mails are an attempt at fraud where criminals pose as reputable companies in an attempt to acquire private, sensitive information such as your eWallet username and password, credit card details, personal details. This is all performed in an effort to defraud. These types of attacks typically relay on social engineering techniques and information from popular social media websites to gather background information on the targeted user.
