Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, cybercriminals have launched wave upon wave of phishing and smishing attacks, and threat actors are becoming more adept at impersonating online shopping and banking resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, analysts at Group-IB\u2019s Computer Emergency Response Team (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.group-ib.com\/cert.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CERT-GIB<\/a>)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.group-ib.com\/media-center\/press-releases\/delivery-failed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discovered more than 270 fake domains created by scammers<\/a>&nbsp;to impersonate more than a dozen leading postage and logistics companies in the Middle East, with the aim to lure users into entering their banking credentials on the scam pages, which the threat actors steal to complete a host of fraudulent transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is in this context that Group-IB and Versos, in collaboration with the Saudi Banking Committee for Information Security, decided to launch&nbsp;<strong>Fraud Day \u2014 Saudi Arabia<\/strong>&nbsp;to outline the necessary steps required to&nbsp;<strong>counter the rapidly evolving tactics, techniques, and procedures leveraged by digital fraud threat actors<\/strong>, in line with Group-IB\u2019s zero tolerance policy to cybercrime and BCIS\u2019s objectives in raising awareness of modern technologies that can be used by financial institutions to combat digital fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGroup-IB was delighted to co-host the first Fraud Day &#8211; Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, an event that we feel has invigorated the financial sector in Saudi Arabia on the need to cooperate to stamp out digital fraud for good. Cooperation between security vendors and financial institutions is essential to achieve this goal, and we are grateful to all our partners who attended the event\u201d Ashraf Koheil, Regional Director, Middle East, Africa and Turkey at Group-IB, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-day event included a conference track that kicked off with an introductory address by&nbsp;<strong>Dmitry Volkov, Group-IB Chief Executive Officer,&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>who detailed how the company assists law enforcement partners in investigating cybercrimes and bringing threat actors to justice, and also how Group-IB\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.group-ib.com\/products\/fraud-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Fraud Protection<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;solutions leverage the company\u2019s best-in-breed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.group-ib.com\/products\/threat-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Threat Intelligence platform<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key insights were also shared by&nbsp;<strong>Ziad Odeh<\/strong>, Executive Director of&nbsp;<strong>Versos<\/strong>, and this was built on by&nbsp;<strong>Rasha Abu AlSaud<\/strong>, the Chief Information Security Officer of the&nbsp;<strong>Saudi National Bank (SNB)<\/strong>&nbsp;and the Chairperson of the&nbsp;<strong>Saudi Banking Committee for Information Security (BCIS),&nbsp;<\/strong>who outlined several key transformations taking place in the digital banking sphere in Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charting latest digital fraud trends in MEA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference also included an insightful presentation delivered by&nbsp;<strong>Group-IB\u2019s Lead Anti-Fraud Analyst, MEA, Maxim Baldakov<\/strong>, who outlined some of the key digital fraud trends Group-IB has observed in the Middle East throughout 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By leveraging&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.group-ib.com\/products\/fraud-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Group-IB\u2019s sector-leading Fraud Protection<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;platform, which guards nearly 400 mln users of both web resources and mobile apps around the world, Maxim&nbsp;Baldakov outlined how Group-IB identifies every hour multiple new cases originating in the Middle East of potential account takeover, device malware infection, and bot generated connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Group-IB analysis,&nbsp;<strong>the credentials of more than 690,000 users in MEA&nbsp;<\/strong>were stolen by malware in 2022 alone, with&nbsp;<strong>Redline Stealer<\/strong>&nbsp;being the most popular source of stolen credential<strong>s<\/strong>. Threat actors also targeted several of the region\u2019s top banking applications, leveraging&nbsp;<strong>TeaBot<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>ERMAC<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Coper<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Hydra<\/strong>&nbsp;Android malware types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final session of the conference track consisted of an enlightening panel discussion touching on the delicate balance between privacy and security in the sphere of digital payments, moderated by&nbsp;<strong>Rasha Abu AlSaud&nbsp;<\/strong>from&nbsp;<strong>BCIS<\/strong>. The panel included&nbsp;<strong>Ibrahim Alsulobi<\/strong>, Acting Manager, Cyber &amp; Information Security Department at&nbsp;<strong>Riyad Bank<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Tariq Mostareeh<\/strong>, Head of Cyber Security Intelligence at&nbsp;<strong>D360 Bank<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Day 2 of the event, Group-IB\u2019s Maxim Baldakov led an illuminating workshop outlining the current trends in online fraud, the main aspects of session-based anti-fraud, as well as various ways to detect and counteract digital fraud facing the banking industry. Participants were also briefed on the evolution of fraud protection systems and how to identify signs of compromise on a device or account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommendations for stamping out digital fraud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Companies and organizations should consider&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.group-ib.com\/products\/fraud-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Fraud Protection<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;solutions that combine device fingerprinting, fraud intelligence, and behavioral analysis to protect web and mobile users against advanced digital threats, malware, payment fraud, social engineering attacks, and bad bots.
