Скачать или смотреть EMV is Having Impact on Identity Fraud 2015, New Account Fraud is Rising

In 2015, Javelin found identity fraud victims was 13.1, only 3% higher than last year. But the amount stolen was at its lowest point in the past six years. Identity fraud is a serious issue as fraudsters have stolen $112 billion in the past six years.

That equals $35,600 stolen per minute, or enough to pay for four years of college in just four minutes.

EMV drives a doubling of New-Account fraud. In 2015 the U.S. switched to EMV, which is designed to reduce in-person fraud and the profitability of counterfeit card operations. Fraudsters have reacted by moving away from existing card fraud to focus on new account fraud (opening a new account in a consumer's name without their permission).

Javelin independently researched and analyzed these fraud trends. We want to thank, LifeLock, our sponsor for making this research possible.
