随着消费者诈骗增加，在线商业诈骗减少

TransUnion周二发布的一份报告显示，网络盗匪正在减少针对企业的攻击计划，但针对消费者的新冠肺炎骗局却在增加。

这家总部位于芝加哥的交易安全解决方案提供商发布的全球网络欺诈趋势季度报告指出，从大流行的锁定阶段(3月11日至5月18日)到重新开放阶段(5月19日至7月25日)，全球范围内针对企业的涉嫌欺诈数字交易下降了9%。

与此形成对比的是，TransUnion在4月13日和7月27日进行的调查发现，被COVID-19数字骗局盯上的消费者增加了10%。

TransUnion全球欺诈解决方案高级副总裁Shai Cohen在一份声明中表示:“随着企业纷纷数字化，许多企业被迫几乎一夜之间完全在线，欺诈者试图从中渔利。”

他接着说，随着这些企业加强了数字欺诈预防解决方案，欺诈者将他们的骗局转移到了其他地方。

“与消费者相反，”他补充说，“欺诈者正越来越多地利用COVID-19来对付那些面临越来越大的财务压力的人。”

Suspected fraudulent digital transactions against businesses worldwide dropped nine percent from the lockdown phase of the pandemic (March 11 to May 18) to the reopening phase (May 19-July 25), noted the quarterly report on global online fraud trends by the Chicago-based transaction security solutions provider.

That contrasts with surveys done by TransUnion for the weeks of April 13 and July 27, which found a 10 percent jump in consumers targeted by digital COVID-19 scams.

"With the rush for businesses to go digital, as many were forced to go completely online almost overnight, fraudsters tried to take advantage," Shai Cohen, senior vice president of global fraud solutions at TransUnion, said in a statement.

As those businesses ramped up their digital fraud prevention solutions, he continued, the fraudsters took their scams elsewhere.

"Conversely with consumers," he added, "fraudsters are increasingly using COVID-19 to prey on those persons who are facing mounting financial pressures."
