How can you prevent something if youre not aware of it? The
\nanswer is, you dont. Awareness is the first step to preventing fraud
\nonline<\/a>. While the majority of businesses and consumers use the Internet as
\na tool, that same pool of companies and people may not know all the risks. This
\nis why online fraud has become such an epidemic in the US and is now even
\ngaining attention from the federal
\ngovernment<\/a>. Even if a company feels
\nthey do not have the resources to prevent fraud, they must take the time to
\neducate themselves and their stakeholders on how they can prevent it. Time is
\none of the most valuable resources a business can have for preventing fraud.
\nNow that businesses have spread their online presence from a simple website to social
\nmedia accounts<\/a>, payment acceptance, and fully functioning application and
\nfiling technology, there is a lot more to loseand a lot more to protect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Banks and financial institutions have always been at the
\ncenter of the online fraud prevention movement because they were the first
\nindustry associated with needing personal information. Now that all industries
\nhave joined this trend, its time that everyone starts paying attention. In a
\nrecent case study conducted by Bank Info Security, bank officials have shared
\ntheir knowledge about online
\nfraud prevention<\/a> and the importance of education. Some key elements
\ndiscussed in this interview are fraud prevention training, the FFICE
\nguidelines, social media, and how other banks are implementing fraud
\nprevention measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Businesses and consumers are wise to pay close attention to
\nthe risks that social media pose. What used to be a means of online
\ncommunication has now turned into one of the biggest aids to identity thieves all
\nover the world. Users and companies in this space significantly increase their
\nchances and risks with online fraud. By knowing the risks and assessing the
\nmeasures taken to prevent fraud, companies and consumers alike can protect
\nagainst Internet
\nfraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
