RSA has released its Q2 2018 fraud report, providing an inside look at the cybercrime and fraud trends observed across attack vector, digital channels and region.
Key findings:
- Over one in four, or 28% of all fraud attacks detected by RSA in the second quarter were attributed to a rogue mobile application.
- The average value of fraudulent vs. genuine transactions was also much higher in the U.S., UK, and Australia.
- While less than a half of 1% of legitimate payment transactions were attempted from a new account and new device, this combination accounted for 27% of the total value of fraudulent payments.
- Fraud from mobile browsers and mobile applications increased in Q2 2018 and represented 71% of total fraud transactions.
- Phishing accounted for 41% of all fraud attacks observed by RSA in Q2. Canada, the United States, and the Netherlands were the top three countries most targeted by phishing.
