IBAN And Swift Fraud

The crime of fraud committed by changing the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) or SWIFT information by the person who intervenes by using IT systems as a tool has become one of the most common fraud acts used by internet hackers. As a necessity of living in the digital age, we live in an environment where payment systems and banking information of all companies are managed via e-mail on the internet. Thus, if the necessary security measures are not taken, being exposed to IBAN or SWIFT fraud is a potential danger that every company, regardless of its field of operation, may face.

Offenders commit the criminal act of fraud in multiple ways by using IT systems as a tool. Examples of these include sending phishing messages containing fake links/files, spam e-mails, trojan software downloaded to the computer with links, keyloggers and screen recorders, fraud by connecting to the Wi-Fi network and the "Man In The Middle Attack", which is the subject of this article
