Cyber-Enabled Fraud

Semester

Spring 2026

Cyber-enabled fraud has become one of the largest and fastest-growing sources of financial loss in the private sector, eroding trust, straining compliance budgets, and fueling wider criminal ecosystems. This project will assess the scale, drivers, and countermeasures of cyber-enabled fraud in financial services and produce actionable guidance for prevention. The team will quantify losses by region and over time using authoritative sources such as IC3, FTC, and industry reports, and translate impacts beyond direct losses to include legal exposure, insurance premiums, credit monitoring, and added compliance headcount.
