The decrease is also spectacular over a longer period: losses from online banking fraud were still \u20ac24.7 million in the first half of 2012.<br>Fraudsters now make hardly any victims using malware or conventional phishing. Banks are becoming increasingly effective at detecting attempted fraud, while their customers are less easily deceived. Awareness campaigns by the Dutch Payments Association and the banks, together with media coverage of these types of fraud, are paying off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blijf-oppassen-voor-phishing-naar-betaalpassen\">Remain alert to debit card phishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite a sharp decrease of 37% compared with the preceding six months, stolen or lost debit cards caused the largest fraud losses in payments in the first half of 2016, at \u20ac1.62 million. This includes losses from debit card mailing scams, which emerged in early 2015. Victims are persuaded by email, SMS, social media or telephone to send their debit card to a false address by post and enter the associated PIN on a fake website. In January 2016, the banks and the Dutch Payments Association launched a nationwide campaign to warn the public: \u201cNever send your debit card!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-samenwerking-en-delen-van-kennis-zijn-sleutel-tot-succes\">Cooperation and knowledge sharing are key to success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effective cooperation and the sharing of knowledge and information between financial institutions, cybersecurity companies and public authorities play an important role in reducing fraud in payments. Within the National Cyber Security Centre and the Financial Institutions Information Sharing and Analysis Centre, this cooperation focuses mainly on preventing and detecting cybercrime. In the Electronic Crimes Task Force, the judiciary, police and banks work together to investigate and prosecute cybercriminals. Other EU countries are very interested in this collective Dutch approach to cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half-yearly developments since 2013 in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>total losses from fraud in payments<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>losses from online banking fraud<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online banking fraud losses fell by 82% to a historically low \u20ac148,000 in the first half of 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"btv_subject_tax":[30,10,17],"class_list":["post-2150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-press-release","btv_subject_tax-account-to-account-payments","btv_subject_tax-digital-identity","btv_subject_tax-online-payments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fraude bij internetbankieren: Een flinke daling - Dutch Payments Association<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Leer meer over de daling van schade door fraude bij internetbankieren.
