The creation of ‘What The Fraud?’ is part of the global verification platform’s response to the growing threat of digital fraud, highlighted by incidents such as a Hong Kong-based employee transferring US$25M to scammers due to a deepfake video.
With synthetic identity fraud expected to cause at least US$23 billion in losses by 2030, according to Deloitte Center for Financial Services, the podcast seeks to educate and inform business owners, risk managers, and compliance officers about fraud prevention.
The first season will focus on fraud challenges in crypto, iGaming, fintech, and other industries, offering expert predictions, actionable advice, and clear takeaways. The initial episodes feature discussions on 2024 fraud trends with fraud consultant Peter Taylor, and AI-powered fraud with generative AI and synthetic realities expert Walter Pasquarelli.

So, we decided to dive in and share our expertise along with industry top minds in the ‘What The Fraud?’ podcast,” said Taraniuk.
“We’ll cover the most pressing issues around fraud that businesses face today–from deepfakes and identity theft to account takeovers, money mules, and forced verification. Tune in for the most comprehensive and up-to-date lowdown on fraud and discover how to safeguard your business.”
