Fraud attacks on fashion e-commerce increased 47 percent in 2018

As online retail grows, so does online fraud. Criminals are getting more and more sophisticated, requiring e-commerce companies to stay up to date about their techniques. “Fraudsters have access to more private information than ever before, and as online criminal networks expand, the access to phishing kits or ‘crime-as-a-service’ opportunities increase for new fraudsters, lowering the bar for more users to enter the ring”, says fraud prevention company Forter in its latest Fraud Attack Index, an annual publication about trends in online fraud attacks across different industries.
