Welcome to another riveting episode of "Banking On Fraudology." I'm your host, Hailey Windham, joined by our special guest, industry expert Karisse Hendrick. In today's episode, we're diving into a staggering compilation of recent data breaches and their potential impact on both the financial and e-commerce sectors. From a mass release of 10 billion passwords to a crippling vendor breach affecting 15,000 car dealerships, and even AT&T's exposure of call logs from 127 million U.S. citizens, we'll explore the subsequent ripple effects and the advanced methods fraudsters employ to exploit this data.

Together, Karisse and I will discuss the broader implications of leaked data, highlighting real-world examples such as the Snowflake breach and the concerning trends seen at Evolve Bank. We’ll also examine how fintech companies and banks can navigate these challenges by recalibrating their security measures, conducting thorough risk assessments, and enhancing monitoring. Plus, we’ll touch on the increasing sophistication of ransomware attacks, the complexities of supply chain breaches, and the critical need for collaboration between issuers and merchants.

Whether you're a banking professional, a fintech enthusiast, or just someone keen on staying ahead of cyber threats, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
