Thinking about how I could add value to the forum it occurred to me, that the topics I encounter at my day job affects all of us and therefore could be of significant value. So why not share it?

I work in the fraud department of a big company in my country. While I can't share company intern stuff, I definitely can share general advice and current fraud scenarios to help you to protect yourself from fraud.

So, if people find value in that, I will update this thread with current fraud scenarios, how to recognise them and, most importantly, how to protect yourself against them.

It will take me some time to write the first few scenarios up, but to have this be more than just an intro post to the thread, here's one thing that you can do right now to protect yourself against a multitude of fraud scenarios:

Wherever possible, turn 2FA (2-Factor-Authentication) on.

Yes, yes, I know. Many already know and do this. But there are also many others, who don't. Without 2FA many of your logins are really f*cking easy to hack. So, turn it on. Seriously.

More to come soon :)

I support you in this endeavor. I'm seeing companies move to passwordless. Do a quick search "going passwordless" and you will see top companies pushing toward this.
