From Dark Web to TikTok: Why Fraud Intelligence Needs to Move at Social Speed
Fraud has evolved from dark web forums to mainstream social media platforms, where scams like the Chase glitch and Klarna money glitch can go viral in hours. Legacy threat intelligence tools can't keep pace with fraud that spreads at social speed. This post explains why real-time monitoring of social platforms is now essential for fraud teams, and how new approaches to viral fraud tracking can help organizations detect and respond to emerging threats before they go mainstream.
