Anti-fraud frameworks must adapt to protect against several emerging cyber-fraud threat vectors: [1]
- Business Email Compromise (BEC): Phishing operations where attackers compromise executive email accounts to send urgent, fraudulent wire transfer requests to corporate treasury teams.
- Deepfake Identity Impersonation: Adversarial use of generative artificial intelligence to synthesize executive voices or video feeds during virtual corporate meetings to authorize high-value transactions.
- Automated Asset Skimming: Injecting malicious scripts into enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms to alter payment routing parameters automatically, diverting fractional capital splits across international accounts. [1, 2]
