Refinitiv’s recently published op-ed in Infosecurity Magazine, “Identity Theft Will Get Worse,” details the outlook for identity fraud in 2022. If the rate and effectiveness of identity-based fraud in 2020 and 2021 are any indicator, that outlook is not good.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
“According to a 2021 survey, 86% of respondents say data privacy is a growing concern, and 40% don’t trust companies with their data. For any executive concerned about safeguarding their company’s reputation, these numbers should be a wake-up call… Unfortunately, many organizations continue to fall behind fraud’s advancements despite current efforts.” — James Mirfin, Global Head of Digital Identity & Fraud Solutions at Refinitiv
