As
e-commerce spreads around the globe, there is increased opportunity for online
cyber-fraud and data theft. We have all read about some of the recent and
well-publicized data breaches suffered by such well-known retailers as Target,
which affected an estimated 110 million customers, and Neiman Marcus. However,
many more data-theft
instances either go unreported or simply do not make the evening news. As a
result of this increased cyber-criminal activity, enterprises and security
providers alike are sharing information to try to keep ahead of the bad guys.
As
part of this effort, mobile identify services provider TeleSign recently released its first
annual fraud report, which identifies the locations, traffic patterns and
anomalies most prevalent in today’s threat landscape. The report also analyzes
anomalous patterns in global delivery of SMS messaging and voice traffic,
research into automated
attack traffic spikes as well and what companies need to be aware of to
help prevent fraud. This eWEEK slide show utilizes research and reporting from
Nancy Vitug, vice president of engineering at TeleSign.
