In the second quarter of 2024, banks identified nearly 257,000 fraudulent transactions, marking a 14.9% decrease compared to the average over the previous four quarters.
The reduction in unauthorized transactions is attributed to an increase in the number of attacks thwarted by banks. Financial institutions successfully repelled 16.3 million attempts by fraudsters to steal clients' money, amounting to ₽2.3 trillion. These figures are almost 1.5 times higher than the averages for the previous period.
Despite these efforts, fraudsters managed to steal approximately ₽4.8 billion from retail and corporate accounts during Q2 2024. This loss represents about a 25% increase over the average for the previous four quarters.
