On 29 November, KPMG, in partnership with the Ghana Association of Banks hosted a webinar on "Managing Emerging Fraud Risks in Financial Institutions." The session, featuring key experts, discussed the 2023 Bank of Ghana Fraud Report, highlighting a 5% increase in fraud cases, totaling GHS 88 million in losses. Emerging fraud trends like SIM swap fraud, cyber fraud, and insider threats were explored. The panel emphasised the importance of proactive collaboration, enhanced governance, and the use of advanced technologies like AI and blockchain to detect fraud. It was also noted that financial institutions must strengthen internal controls, educate staff and customers, and improve third-party governance to prevent fraud effectively.

🚀 I had the privilege of joining an insightful panel last week at Montreal's InCyber forum alongside Marie-Chantal Leduc from Tetra Trust Company and Matthew Price from Elliptic. We delved into the pressing need to stay ahead of cyber criminals and the crucial role of preventing financial crime in today’s digital landscape, regardless of whether you play in fiat or are considering digital assets. The discussion centred on implementing digital identity solutions, AML risk assessment strategies, and the importance of blockchain monitoring capabilities in effectively preventing and detecting financial crime. One key takeaway was the significance of enablers to regulation, such as a standardized digital ID and seamless access to corporate data. These elements are vital for enhancing our collective ability to combat financial crime and foster a safer financial ecosystem.

WazirX has attributed a recent $230 million cryptocurrency hack, which resulted in the loss of nearly half of its digital assets, to a security compromise at its former custody partner, Liminal. A forensic investigation by Mandiant Solutions found that WazirX's internal infrastructure was secure and not compromised during the attack. The attack specifically targeted a multisig wallet, requiring multiple keys for transaction authorization, with WazirX holding five of the six keys. Liminal, however, denied any claims of compromised security, suggesting that the vulnerabilities lie within WazirX’s security systems, especially since WazirX was responsible for the majority of the keys involved in the wallet transactions. #AsiaRisk #CyberAttacksandDataLoss #India Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/gM4CEfRU
