"Inny's": One of the Biggest Threats to Online Companies + Banks

Published on: 11th May, 2023

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

In this episode of the Fraudology Podcast, host Karisse Hendrick provides a deep dive into what the perpetrator side of fraud refers to as "Inny's".

Inny's, short for "Insiders" are able to bypass the majority of fraud & policy defense systems by colluding with an employee to be given access to the account or action that the fraudster wants. From easily committing account takeovers to refund fraud to balance transfers, SIM swaps, and package re-routes, these are all tasks that customer service agents and/or in-store staff are being recruited and paid to do. And unfortunately, this activity often won't be found utilizing the methods or metrics to identify traditional internal theft tactics.

Karisse will then share how they are recruited, the average amount that they're paid, and what can be done to identify & prevent bad actors from hiring your customers for fraud-as-a-service.

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.

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!
