This creates additional motivation for short players or parties who are looking to express their negative view in free markets,\u201d said Suri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An increase in wire and title fraud risk highlights ongoing cybersecurity challenges such as Business Email Compromise (BEC) events and phishing attacks, noted FundingShield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEC is a sophisticated combination of phishing and spoofing used to extract $2.7 billion from victims in 2022, a 47% increase since 2020, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/Media\/PDF\/AnnualReport\/2022_IC3Report.pdf\">2022 FBI Internet Crime report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEC involves fraudsters gaining access to your company\u2019s actual email accounts, often after targeting one of your employees with a traditional phishing attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once inside the company\u2019s system, perpetrators can reach out to customers via the employee&#8217;s email address but request them to send closing funds to the wrong bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phishing is the most prevalent tactic used for wire fraud today, affecting more than 300,000 victims, the FBI report noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCyber security events at Fidelity and First American created the perfect storm for social engineering attempts by bad actors to impersonate and deploy numerous other schemes to seek the rerouting of funds,\u201d said Suri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wire and title fraud risk reached an all all-time high in Q4 2023 with 51.8% of transactions having issues that led to a risk of wire and title fraud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39492,"featured_media":421896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[219954,268078],"tags":[13281,4755,11918],"coauthors":[267988],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v21.7) -
