Combating Internet fraud: effective measures
Online fraud has become a serious threat to everyone today. Fraudsters impersonate government officials, extort money, and make threats. At the conference "Online Fraud: Counteraction, Prevention, and Communication," held on the Zakon.kz platform, measures to combat this phenomenon were discussed in detail. The meeting was moderated by Dana Aitmaganbetovna, CEO of Fortune Partners, and Marat Bashimov, Member of Parliament.
Measures taken by government agencies
Government agencies are actively implementing anti-fraud solutions:
- 65 million fraudulent calls have been blocked.
- 800 million tenge have been returned to victims.
- An anti-fraud center has been established at the National Bank to block suspicious transactions.
- The cyber police at the Ministry of Internal Affairs promptly investigates such crimes.
- Large-scale information campaigns are being conducted through the media, social media, and educational and religious institutions.
New initiatives
The following measures were proposed at the conference:
- Introducing a 24-hour "cooling-off period" for transactions to allow for blocking them if necessary.
- Holding banks accountable for data leaks and transfers to fraudulent accounts.
- Strengthening oversight of intermediary accounts and holding "droppers" (financial intermediaries) involved in fraudulent schemes accountable.
Conference proposals
- Strengthening organizational liability for personal data leaks.
- Implement fraud analysis systems.
- Improve citizen communication through social media and awareness programs.
Legislative Initiatives
Deputy Marat Bashimov proposed turning these ideas into legislative initiatives to protect citizens from fraud.
Fortune Partners is proud that its CEO, Dana Aitmaganbetovna, contributed to this important discussion. The work to ensure security continues!
