- Payment fraud leveraging PoS malware, digital skimming attacks and JS sniffers for card-not-present (CNP) fraud, and the theft of customer and payment card information
- Retail fraud involving ATO and credential-stuffing attacks using account-checking tools, including abuse of e-commerce payment platforms
