Many enterprises fail to identify contact centers as the root of fraud loss, but fraud rings recognize banks’ weakest link.
Boston, April 27, 2016 – Armed with breached data and social engineering tactics, organized fraud rings are probing financial institutions for the information they need to access customer funds, and the point of least resistance is often the contact center.
