Visa: Criminals Target People Amid Payment Security Gains

Visa's latest report indicates a significant shift in criminal tactics, moving away from exploiting technical vulnerabilities in payment systems towards targeting human behavior. As core payment security measures become more robust, fraudsters are increasingly focusing on social engineering and deception to compromise individuals. This trend highlights the growing importance of user awareness and education in combating payment fraud. The company's findings underscore the evolving landscape of cyber threats, where human error presents a more accessible entry point for illicit activities than sophisticated system breaches.
