Corporate Account Takeover

What is Corporate Account Takeover?

Corporate account takeover is a type of fraud targeting business' finances to make unauthorized transactions, including transferring funds, creating and adding fictitious employees to payroll and stealing sensitive customer information.

Small businesses are being targeted especially since most do not have the same level of resources as larger companies to defend and upgrade their information technology systems. Also, many do not monitor and reconcile their accounts on a daily basis and small businesses may bank with a variety of financial institutions.

Avoiding Fraud

10 Things You Can Do To Avoid Fraud

1 Keep in mind that wiring money is like sending cash: once it's gone, you can't get it back. Con artists often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it's nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don't wire money to strangers, to sellers who insist on wire transfers for payment, or to someone who claims to be a relative in an emergency (and wants to keep the request a secret).

Identity Theft

Identity theft is a serious crime. It occurs when your personal information is stolen and used without your knowledge to commit fraud or other crimes. Identity theft can cost you time and money. It can destroy your credit and ruin your good name.
