Account Takeover Fraud: Becoming Preventative vs. Reactionary

Account takeover (ATO) fraud attacks used to be about bad actors using stolen credentials to take over a victim’s bank account. But this type of fraud is becoming automed with the use of malware. These attack techniques and technologies make ATO attacks significantly more effective as a result, enabling bad actors to monetize identity theft through ATO fraud at scale.

Banks need a way to keep pace given how easily bad actors can access breached records or utilize credential-stealing malware like remote access trojans or remote access tools (RATs). The best option is to stop reacting to an ATO attack and start preventing it instead.
