Online data is valuable, especially for those who seek to use this information to commit fraud. There are many ways to exploit data found on the internet for illicit purposes. For example:

  • A fraudster, using various pieces of information (such as first name, last name, e-mail address, home address, tax code, and IBAN), can open an account in another person’s name to carry out illegal activities (e.g., money laundering).
  • A hacker may gain access to a person’s e‑mail account and send messages to their contacts requesting money.
  • A criminal, after obtaining a person’s credit card details, can use them to make purchases charged to the victim.

CRIF provides consumers with services that allow them to monitor and detect whether their data is at risk online or if someone is attempting to use their identity to obtain credit. These services also include support for victims of identity theft.

Organisations of all sizes have been, or will be, impacted by cyber risks. While this threat is widely publicised, it is not always well understood. Today, almost all companies are connected to the internet: e‑mail, online searches, and supplier payments are just some of the ways organisations interact online.

CRIF helps companies manage cyber risks and monitors whether sensitive data has been compromised or stolen.
