How Data Breaches Can Be Monetized (via ATOs)

Published on: 13th October, 2022

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

Account Takeovers are continually a hot topic in online fraud-fighting. Just when companies think they have the right layers for detection & prevention, more adaptions of ATOs are created. Often, understanding the root cause of a specific ATO attack, along with other factors such as motive, methods, and behavior within the account can help a company diagnose the cause, and identify solutions to identify & block damage made on "hacked" consumer accounts.

On this episode, Karisse dives into how to identify one specific source of an ATO spike; when login credentials are exposed at another online company.

  • What companies will be targeted first and what ways to verify this cause with outside sources
  • Common ways these ATOs can be identified and additional controls to consider to deploy during a large-scale ATO attack
  • Why this topic was one that Karisse thought was important to dive into this week and what to look out for

Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

About the Podcast

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick
Join Fraud Fighter Karisse Hendrick twice a week for deep dive interviews and weekly fraud news.
If you work in online fraud prevention, chances are you've caught the "bug". The bug that makes you passionate about identifying & preventing cybercriminals from getting away with stealing from your company, or your client's companies. Most people who have made cyber-fraud their career have the perfect balance of analytical and social skills, a strong sense of justice and the curiosity that will drive you to go down every path of information until you "crack the case".

Just like sociology is the study of social behavior, and psychology is the study of human behavior, Fraudology is the science and study of fraud.

On the Fraudology podcast, long-time online fraud expert, Karisse Hendrick will dive into all areas of Fraudology from the perspective of a fraud-fighter. With guests ranging from former cybercriminals to fraud-fighters at Fortune 500 companies to law enforcement and others, you will no doubt be entertained, while learning a lot about fraud & other forms of abuse prevention!
