BANK FRAUD. Every year, in France, 28 billion banking transactions are carried out. As many chances for attackers to commit acts of cyber-maliciousness. Here are the 5 essential figures to know about bank fraud in 2022.
[Updated on January 18, 2022 at 08:49] Online banking fraud, and in particular phishing or “phishing” is developing at high speed in France. A scourge that is difficult to stem, first of all because the victims are still reluctant to file a complaint. “Out of 10 people who are victims of cybermalveilence, four to five maximum will file a complaint” conceded the Director of the Awareness Unit at cybermalveillance.gouv.fr Laurent Latour, on our site on January 9th. Phishing campaigns which have also accelerated sharply, in particular by sms from the second half of 2021. To try to see more clearly, here are the 5 key figures for online banking fraud in 2022:
This is the number of fraudulent banking transactions, out of 28 billion transactions carried out each year in France. Enough to increase the total amount of bank fraud to 1.2 billion euros per year.
This is the percentage increase in online account hacking compared to 2020. The goal is to break into your email account. The latter contains countless information for cybercriminals. By accessing it, the attacker can afford to reset the password of all other online accounts of the victim.
This is the percentage of the French population suffering from illectronism. In other words, the difficulty or even the inability for a person to use digital devices and tools due to a lack or total absence of knowledge about how they work.
This is the share that card number spoofing represents of all phishing fraud. This technique is the most massively used by attackers.
This is the share that credit cards stolen or lost and then used without your knowledge represents of all online banking fraud. See on your account statement that payments have recently been made and you didn’t make them? In this case, immediately oppose this card.
But then, how best to react if you are a victim of fraud? Who to contact? What are the steps to take? To try to answer these questions, three experts will participate on January 24, 2023 in a round table by videoconference at 6 p.m.: Raphaël Bartlomé, Deputy Director for Political Action in charge of the Legal Department of UFC-Que Choisir, Paul Olivier Gibert, President of the French Association of Personal Data Protection Correspondents (AFCDP) and Laurent Verdier, Director of the Awareness Unit within the victim support platform cybermalveillance.gouv.fr. An event to which Linternaute.com joins as a partner.
