Project description
For this project we had to research two articles about information security/cybersecurity reported by media and then evaluate them.
Two women from North Carolina were sentenced to federal prison after admitting to a scheme involving bank fraud and identity theft in Montana. The two stole identities and used that information to access customer bank accounts. They ended up carrying out 18 fraudulent cash withdrawals from 18 victims across 10 different financial institutions in Montana. In order to prevent this from happening we can use things like strong passwords, regularly check your accounts, use two-factor authenticators.
