webinar has officially begun. It is now 11:00 a.m. Um, but like I just
0:08
mentioned, we’re going to go ahead and be starting at um 11:01. Um, I’m in
0:13
Pacific time if you haven’t noticed by me saying 11.
0:17
And so, we’ll be starting at just like 1 minute uh past the hour to give just
0:21
folks a few more minutes to to join. All right,
0:55
my clock says one minute past the hour. Rebecca, should we do this?
0:59
>> Yeah, let’s get started.
1:00
>> Okay, I guess one more time uh to everyone who’s still joining. Welcome to
1:05
uh CIF’s webinar. Uh we are going to be talking about account takeovers today
1:10
and um if they’re haunting your organization, the signs to look out for
1:15
and what you can do about it. We have a poll going uh just as a point of
1:19
curiosity uh about how many of our participants today have experienced an
1:25
account takeover haunting. So experience some version of account takeover. Um so
1:31
let’s get into it. Um we’re going to introduce ourselves
1:35
first. My name is Charlotte Gerard. Um, and I am a product marketing manager
1:41
here at Syft for our account defense solution and dispute management
1:45
solution. And I’m joined by my wonderful co-worker who can introduce themselves.
1:50
Hi, my name is Rebecca. I am a trust and safety architect here at SIFT. And I’ve
1:55
been in the digital trust and safety space for a little over a decade now. um
2:00
working at companies like Square, Now Block, um Gusto, and Stripe to try to
2:05
fight bad actors and and keep the broader um payments ecosystem safe. So,
2:10
I’m excited to talk to you all about account takeovers. It’s something I’ve
2:14
I’ve dealt with a lot in my life.
2:17
>> We’re glad you’re here, Rebecca. Um so, an overview of what we’re going to
2:22
cover, the signs of an account takeover haunting. I hope folks appreciate our
2:26
spooky season theme. much planning and thought went into this. We almost wore
2:31
ghostbusting costumes. You’re welcome that we didn’t. Um, so we’re going to
2:35
look at the signs and then ghostbusting 101, what you can do if you believe
2:39
you’re um being impacted by account takeovers and some best practices there.
2:44
And then we’ll have time at the end for some questions and answers. There’s
2:48
anything you would like to ask or discuss, um, we would welcome that you
2:52
speak up. Um, as a reminder about who we are and
2:56
what we do, Syft is a leader in the digital trust and safety space. Uh, and
3:02
we are a platform solution that empowers everyone from digital disruptors to
3:07

3:41
>> All right. Uh so the signs of an account takeover haunting. Let’s start off by
3:47
talking about what an account takeover is. Uh so the way we think about it is
3:52
it’s when a fraudster accesses a legitimate users or trusted users
3:57
account to gain information. So things like payment methods or personal
4:01
identified information like shipping address or email um or bank or health
4:08
information, things like that so that they can commit other types of fraud.
4:13
For example, an unauthorized illegal transaction or transfer stored value off
4:18
of a site to do something else with. Um, and as we know, I’m assuming most folks
4:25
on this webinar are well aware, the fraud economy is large and it is complex
4:31
and it is ever expanding. Um, and it’s rare that fraudsters are ever committing
4:36
just one type of fraud in a vacuum. So the way we think about account takeovers
4:41
and why it’s such uh an insidious form of fraud is because it’s really the
4:46
point at which fraudsters open the gate to be able to committing many other
4:52
types of fraud further down in the user journey. What can start with hijacking
4:57
an innocent account can end in content uh spams, scams, chargebacks, oh I’m
5:03
sorry. um and many other things some of which we put uh here on the slide and
5:10
then Rebecca can you share with us why that matters to businesses
5:15
>> of course happy to so um overall account takeovers will lead to uh financial loss
5:22
loss of trust with your customers and potential churn so so how does this work
5:26
so I think a lot of your businesses may have received single instances of
5:31
reported ATO’s maybe one of your consumers reached out to your customer
5:34
service um organization and told you that their account had been affected and
5:38
then you go ahead and you do some password resets and work for account
5:41
recovery, you might just think, okay, this happened to one person, but my
5:45
company doesn’t have a broadscale problem with this. But realistically,
5:50
there are probably a a number of unreported ATOs that are happening on
5:54
your plat on your business. You want to go to the next slide, Charlotte?
5:59
And so, why would someone not report an ATL? There’s multiple reasons
6:03
potentially they may not be aware that their account has been taken over. Um, a
6:08
lot of times fraudulent actors just access account to get that stored
6:12
information, that value that Charlotte was just mentioning. So that’s their
6:15
PII, meaning their email address is um maybe bank account information so that
6:20
they can go ahead and commit um, you know, different forms of financial crime
6:24
on other platforms. The other thing is like maybe that their account is just
6:28
dormant and so they’re not actively monitoring this account and are not
6:31
seeing um the activ the nefarious activity happening on that account. Not
6:36
only is it unreported, but I think if you deal in a marketplace or a larger
6:40
platform, there’s a potential issue that um one single account taken over could
6:46
actually create lots of fraud on your platform. So a classic example of this
6:50
would be let’s say you run a hosting site for jobs. you get one employer
6:56
account that’s a bad actor. They go ahead and they they spam a bunch of jobs
7:01
that are not real just to gain that personal identifiable information from
7:05
different consumers. And then your platform is known for having fraud or or
7:10
bad job sites. So it’s really important that you maintain the integrity of the
7:15
platform of the entire site. And more broadly, why is this so important? Well,
7:19
it leads to a loss of trust in your brand amongst consumers. Sift recently
7:25
um surveyed consumers and actually it’s quite shocking what we found. 75% of
7:30
consumers told us that they would leave a brand if they realized or had known
7:35
their account had been taken over. That’s so expensive. Not only from a
7:38
reputational standpoint, but we all know how challenging it is to get customers
7:43
to get customers to want to add on to their account their longtime value. and
7:47
then um re getting or your cost of acquisition to get those customers again
7:52
on your site just becomes increased. So it’s not just that single instance of
7:56
maybe one atto that’s getting reported to you. It’s this whole atto compounding
8:00
network effect that really damages your brand over time. And so it’s really
8:04
important that you focus on an atto and work to stop them.
8:11
>> Yes, it is Rebecca. I agree wholeheartedly.
8:14
>> Thanks Charlotte. Uh so to ground us in some concrete
8:20
examples of those warning signs of what uh account takeovers can look like as
8:25
they show up for your organization. Rebecca just gave some examples of
8:28
these. Um but to summarize, we’re looking at spikes in customer
8:33
escalation. So customers reporting directly to the brand to you that their
8:38
account has been compromised or some unauthorized action like a transaction
8:43
or a posting of content or something or account update has happened. Uh we’re
8:48
also looking at spikes in unsuccessful login requests uh and or password reset
8:54
requests. Lot of spikes really is what you’re looking for when it comes to
8:57
account takeovers. Also looking at your overall brand sentiment. So, if you um
9:03
look at social media platforms to gauge uh how your brand sentiment is doing and
9:08
you’re seeing spikes in negative chatter, that can be a strong
9:12
indication. Um and then also just brute force attacks. Uh if you’re getting
9:17
bots, if you’re getting a lot of credential stuffing, um that’s a strong
9:21
indication as well. Yeah, I think another thing too um is to proactively
9:27
monitor where your customers are logging in from and making patterns off that
9:32
login um data. So, let’s say you have a billing address and making sure that
9:36
where they’re logging in from is close to that billing address. And if there’s
9:39
unusual or suspicious activity triggered from that, that can be a cause for
9:43
investigation so that you’re proactively ahead of potential escalations on social
9:48
media or inbound escalations to your customer service team.
9:54
That’s okay. The fun part, Ghostbusting 101. Um, we’re going to look at what
10:00
some best practices around addressing account takeover uh can look like
10:05
depending on the sort of developmental stage uh of your organization.
10:10
Yeah. And so, you know, I actually have never seen Ghostbusters. I can’t believe
10:15
I’ming that. I know. So, but but I am wellversed in account takeover hunting.
10:22
So, you know, we’ll go ahead and do that. Um, but I myself and one of my
10:26
previous organizations, we actually built an ATO program from the ground up.
10:30
And one of the best practices that we found when we first started finding was
10:34
kind of what I was just alluding to previously is that we did have the login
10:37
data and we created um alerts that alerted our customers about the
10:42
suspicious activity that we had observed on the platform. um and we’d go ahead
10:46
and we’d send them an email and we’d either ask them to confirm that that
10:49
activity was um really legitimately theirs or or not. And what we found is
10:54
that our consumers really appreciated these email notifications. They were
10:59
quick to notify us um when it wasn’t them. And uh my marketing friends like
11:04
Charlotte was always really surprised about our email open rates and our click
11:07
rates and action rates from those emails because again consumers care deeply
11:11
about this. And so they were um really quick to let us know. And then also them
11:16
telling us and confirming that it wasn’t them. We got a really good understanding
11:20
of how accurate um that was. I mean it was 100% accuracy when they confirmed
11:24
with us that that wasn’t them, which is just really exciting. And then from
11:28
there um we created best practices for our customer service team to know how to
11:32
handle these escalations and to do account recoveries once um that ATO was
11:36
confirmed. And then we built a horistics model where it was just simple rules. So
11:41
that again we created a queue for manual review that then we could again
11:45
proactively stop these ATOS before any financial transactions had happened and
11:49
eventually we partnered with our data science team and our risk operations
11:53
team to build out a machine learning model again that would proactively add
11:57
all these things. This took us a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of
12:01
resources um to get to that full um proactive state of being able to monitor
12:06
this. But I think um Charlotte’s going to speak to what maybe like an
12:10
all-in-one solution might look like.
12:12
>> Yeah. Um so we’ve put this visual together to just summarize how we at
12:17
SIFT as a platform solution think about what the more sophisticated end of the
12:22
spectrum looks like when it comes to uh dealing with account takeovers, but also
12:27
looking at the user journey as a whole. um and being strategic about where you
12:31
put your investment and your focus in protecting your brand and your customers
12:36
um from fraud. So going from what Rebecca was talking about which are kind
12:41
of the basics of best practices when it comes to account takeover alerts, email
12:46
notifications, um just getting a ground truth in place. Um here at SIFT we
12:53
obviously leverage data in a very uh large scale way with our machine
12:59
learning models so that um upon implementation
13:03
we can do all the things at once pretty much that Rebecca just outlined from uh
13:09
being able to apply a score to user user sessions so that we can predict and
13:14
anticipate that level of risk at the key points of the user journey. If you’re
13:20
looking at account takeover, we’re looking at the point of login. Um, and
13:23
then lots of our customers like to combine the power of both uh protecting
13:28
their users at the point of transaction as well as upstream. Um, and leveraging
13:33
both. And um, this is a quick visual kind of summarizing the typical types of
13:38
data that we leverage at those two two different points of the user journey and
13:42
where there’s also some overlap. Um and with that data um we provide the tools
13:50
and we think about a sophisticated solution um deserving that title if they
13:56
offer tools that allow you to uh create rules-based logic uh which we internally
14:02
call um workflows so that you have the power in your hands to get to that g
14:07
that ground truth quickly of uh what account takeover really looks like for
14:12
you as an organization. um how it compares and how you can um look at the
14:17
whole user journey within one tool and then iterate over time at a pace and a
14:23
scale that works for you. Um we have a couple of um examples here that we want
14:29
to show that we think are valuable examples of other customers doing that
14:33
and kind of going on more of a journey from basic practices or different
14:37
versions of um visibility and awareness uh of account takeover fraud and how
14:43
they went on a journey to actually addressing it effectively.
14:48
Um so the first one or I should say our first ghost story um we’re keeping them
14:53
anonymous but they are in the luxury re retail space and this customer was
14:58
already using payment protection so already had a handle on the fraud um and
15:03
their best practices around that point of the user journey. And while they knew
15:07
that their marketplace was experiencing some level of account takeover fraud,
15:12
they had no visibility into it. So it was really more of a guess and a gauge
15:16
about what they were seeing on their customer support side. Um
15:21
so what happened is that our internal teams, our customer support and also the
15:26
team that Rebecca works on, our trust and uh trust and safety architect team
15:32
noticed that the brand was growing significantly and scaling in a pretty
15:36
short amount of time and thought it would be worth suggesting to this
15:40
customer, hey, looking on the deep dark web to just see if your brand is getting
15:46
any more attention or chatter um might be worth it because if it is that can be
15:52
a strong indication that fraudsters are going to start uh targeting you
15:56
specifically for account takeover fraud which you’re not currently addressing.
16:01
So it could be a worthwhile exercise. Um so this customer decided that it would
16:06
be worthwhile doing. So our team conducted that assessment and then
16:10
presented their findings. Um and the results uh were significant
16:16
whereas this customer had thought that on a weekly basis they were dealing with
16:20
maybe you know 30 to 40 to 50 account takeovers and having to restore those
16:26
accounts that were impacted. Um once we implemented account defense as a result
16:32
of what we saw in the deep dark web indicating that there was a lot of
16:36
chatter um they went from that 40ish uh average account takeover incident rate
16:44
to in the thousands on average. Their team was then having to deal with 1,200
16:49
account restorations um which was a huge difference from what they thought was
16:53
their ground truth to what was actually the ground truth. and because of their
16:57
rate of growth was going to keep expanding and so you know having
17:02
something more than just sort of blanket step up challenges or something that
17:06
sort of I don’t know covers the problem but you’re not really looking at it and
17:10
not really thinking about it in a more sophisticated way to keep up with the
17:13
pace of fraudsters um ended up being the right decision for them. Yeah. And I’ll
17:19
just add really quickly here, um, the deep and dark web searches is something
17:23
that the trust and safety team does do for SIFT customers. So if you’re
17:27
interested, you can go ahead and reach out. We’re happy to do that for you as
17:30
well. And then also when I ever when I talk to um brands or new fraud managers,
17:35
I always tell them, you know, atto is not if, it’s when. Um, so especially
17:40
just, you know, in my previous experience having worked for companies
17:43
that scale quite rapidly, as your brand becomes more prominent to consumers,
17:47
it’s not just good users that become more aware of your brand, it’s also bad
17:51
actors. So, you might not see this fraud at the beginning, but it’ll come with
17:55
time. Um, and so it’s something that you should really be proactive um, and be
18:00
preventive as you’re thinking about what your long-term strategy might be like
18:04
for your fraud program. So, it’s my little PSA there for any frog managers
18:08
out there to start thinking about ATOS. Appreciate that. Um, we have one other
18:14
ghost story that we thought would be valuable to share. It’s uh Swan. They’re
18:18
in the fintech Bitcoin space for anyone who’s unaware of them. Um, their
18:25
challenge um was upon launch uh they expanded really quickly. Uh I think it
18:32
was in 2020 that they launched their platform. Um and in that experience they
18:38
got an influx of fraudulent transfers, chargebacks and identity reuse that
18:44
ultimately led to significant losses for them. Um they implemented um an upfront
18:50
password login system that helped reduce some of that fraud rate overall. Um, but
18:57
they still weren’t entirely free and they were still suffering from like spam
19:01
SMS and influx of phone numbers that just made it difficult for their team to
19:05
keep up with. Um, a thing that they had to be really sensitive to being in the
19:11
Bitcoin space was uh customers privacy where consumers in that space expect a
19:18
bit more friction or just more demonstrable security.
19:23
um and their consumers, it’s common place for them to use one-time emails
19:28
and burner phones uh which in other industries can actually be typical fraud
19:33
indicators, but in this space, you know, could just be this byproduct of cautious
19:39
users who are actually trusted and just looking to protect their identity. So,
19:44
Swan started looking for a more sophisticated solution that could take
19:48
into account a larger range of signals um and still not apply, you know, undo
19:53
friction to every single user uh and kind of take a blanketed approach. So,
19:58
they implemented account defense um and straight away started using um the
20:04
score-based workflows and that allowed them to like freeze accounts that looked
20:08
risky uh through our manual review cue. So they were still able to kind of start
20:14
small with some surgical precision um and then gradually introduce limits and
20:18
then also advance uh how they built or adjusted their workflows once they
20:24
gained a deeper understanding of the fraud patterns were happening to them.
20:29
Um so that was a really kind of effective journey for them starting with
20:34
um a more basic approach to dealing with their fraud types and their multiple
20:39
fraud types. Um and they saw some fantastic results um after having
20:44
implemented account defense. Uh a lot of their manual review time was cut. Uh
20:50
they didn’t have to expand that team because of the efficiencies of using a
20:53
more scalable solution that was allin-one. Um and yeah, implementing
20:59
SIFT helped drive that loss rate down, that fraud loss rate down by about 90%.
21:04
Um, so a great success story starting out with a ghost story, a successful
21:09
ending to a scary ghost story.
21:12
>> Yeah. And I’ll just add these numbers like seem really large, right? Like as a
21:17
fraud expert, I’m always skeptical of large numbers. I’m like, is that real?
21:21
And I I think it just speaks to, you know, the power of this product. And
21:25
also um especially that manual review time. Like I’ve lived the spreadsheet
21:29
life where you’re doing manual reviews on spreadsheets and you’re clicking
21:32
between tabs and just to get a central location where you actually cue things
21:36
for review, you have all that data in a central spot. It just makes it really
21:40
easy for analysts to make quick decisions um throughout the day and just
21:45
any additional time you can cut down really compounds over time. So um it’s
21:50
pretty remarkable when you can get to a nice solution off the spreadsheets.
21:55
>> Yeah, that that would be my preference. Yeah.
21:59
>> Um, okay. So, that brings us to the close of the content that we have
22:03
planned to share with you today. So, now we are uh in our Q&A portion of the
22:09
webinar. We do have uh I think two or three questions that have come in. Um,
22:16
one of them uh to kick us off is how do you calculate the loss of account
22:21
takeovers uh when there isn’t a clear financial impact? which is a great
22:26
question. Um the way that we look at it at SIFT um is around the points that
22:33
Rebecca you made earlier around uh the lifetime value of a customer and
22:39
thinking about the cost of acquisition because of the brand damage that account
22:45
takeovers cause. We’ve got, you know, at SIFT, we put a lot of time and energy
22:50
into doing uh research so that we do have a handle on the benchmarks of
22:55
what’s happening across the industry for different fraud vectors. So, the um
23:00
latest account takeover index report has some really valuable information about
23:05
how ATO’s are dramatically uh up since last year. Um, and so just thinking
23:12
about that that we’re seeing more account takeover fraud happen and if we
23:18
know that the impact of account takeover fraud ultimately is about brand damage
23:23
and losing customers, we look at the value equation when we’re in
23:28
conversation um with customers in a pretty simple way. It’s that lifetime
23:33
value customer. What is the value for a customer? What would the value be of
23:38
having to um pay for gaining additional customers because of the ones that
23:43
you’ve lost? And how many account takeovers do you think are happening
23:46
right now? Do you have a baseline of what you believe or at least hypothesize
23:51
is your number right now? And then, you know, are you willing to invest in a
23:56
tool that would actually give you the visibility to quantify that ground truth
24:01
um so that you can do that equation? um that in in my experience with customers
24:06
that I’ve been closer to um and as I’ve learned from my colleagues is usually
24:10
the most effective and accurate way to think about um calculating the loss of
24:16
account takeover or thinking about the value of implementing solutions to
24:21
address account takeovers. Uh I’m seeing some more questions come
24:26
in. Uh Rebecca, do you want to take one of these?
24:30
>> Yeah. So the first question that came in it said in the B2C companies unless
24:34
passwords OPT is shared with the bad actor ATL could not take place. How do
24:39
you cite that brute force attacks can end up in ATO? Um I’ll just say that in
24:43
a lot of our research we’re talking about the deep and dark web passwords
24:47
and OTPs are for sale um and they’re for sale in mass. So it’s it’s quite easy
24:52
for these bad actors to um gain access to that. And so that’s the combination
24:56
in which we thought were going to be happening. Um, so I’ve answered that
25:01
one. Charlotte, you want to read the next question coming in? Yeah. So this
25:05
is from Charianne Morris. What if the ATO is happening on your client and the
25:09
bad actors are SSOing to your platform to complete the fraudulent transaction?
25:14
The ATO is happening on the client’s side, but are there features to help
25:18
safeguard the vendor, i.e. us? Um, there are. Uh
25:26
so I’m so yeah I think this the single sign on
25:33
session so if the bad actor has like that information um then I’m trying to
25:40
like read through this question I’m sorry um
25:47
um yeah I think that happens is the client’s information is stolen so it’s
25:51
not necessarily that like your business has been taken o over and so but their
25:56
personal account and their information and that single sign on has been
25:59
breached and so I think a lot of the same principles that we were discussing
26:03
apply for that not only to help your customers account but also to safeguard
26:07
your business from additional things that may happen as well. So what you
26:11
want to do in those cases is to go ahead and freeze the account to shut it down
26:14
and do a complete recovery of that account. In some cases, I’ve worked at
26:19
places where you actually have to ask that customer to just complete a whole
26:23
new account and completely dormant um that account that had been taken over on
26:27
that side um just so that they can spin up and that fraudulent actor doesn’t
26:31
have access to that.
26:35
>> Thanks, Rebecca.
26:36
>> Yeah.
26:37
>> And then here, if it’s okay, I’m going to read this last question. See what we
26:41
think. Mhm.
26:42
>> So for fintex, how do we freeze accounts and stop suspicious transactions from
26:48
going through on sift? Yeah, I can go ahead and answer that. So
26:54
there’s a lot of different things that you can do in tandem to freeze accounts
27:00
or stop suspicious activities on SIFT. One of the things that we rely most
27:04
heavily on is our SIFT score. And then you can create um a lot of rules or
27:08
automatic decisions based upon that score. So either completely stop the
27:12
transaction at the site um if that score is at a high enough threshold. You can
27:17
also cue things for review so that your internal agents can take a look and do
27:21
an investigation. And then the third option is if it’s a clean enough
27:24
transaction, you can go ahead and send that through automatically. There’s also
27:28
a number of combinations that you can do in order to create maybe additional
27:31
rules to stop atto or to work with that score in different ways. And so my
27:36
recommendation for you would also to be to reach out to your customer um service
27:40
rep and they should be able to help you here as well. Um and get in touch with
27:44
the Tasa. We’d be more than happy to do an examination as well to see if there’s
27:47
more things that we can do to help preventing attos.
27:51
>> Awesome. Thanks Rebecca and thanks everyone for your questions. Um
27:56
>> there’s another we can answer like one more. There’s another one that came in
27:59
and it says, “Is there a difference in how you manage atto for B2B companies
28:04
versus BTOC companies?” And um I would say yes and no, right? A lot of the
28:11
same. Yes, a consumer business is completely different um than a B2B
28:16
business. And so with B2B, you would typically have a lot more information
28:20
about that business, whether it be their 10 that they sign up with. um there’s
28:25
probably more searchable information about the business, there’s more online
28:28
presence, so you’re able to identify the identity of your businesses easier, but
28:33
a lot of the signals that we put in this previous slide that that Charlotte
28:37
mentioned um apply both to consumers and to businesses. So that’s thinking about
28:42
dormcancy of account, that’s thinking about geoloccation, that’s thinking
28:46
about um you know your user activity on your pages, how long they’re viewing
28:51
them. So a lot of those signals that we recommend velocity of transactions, a
28:56
lot of those signals that we say can apply both to businesses and to
29:01
consumers.
29:05
>> Great. Thanks, Rebecca. Um, I see one other question came through. We have one
29:10
minute left here. Um, how do we set up custom alerts on CIF to
29:16
notify us about suspicious transactions before they go through?
29:23
Uh, how do I set up customer alerts on set to note? Yeah. Um, again, I would
29:28
really recommend reaching out to your customer service rep um to get some
29:33
further information on this, but you can make custom alerts on so many different
29:37
signals within SIFT, which is why I think it’s such a valuable tool. It’s so
29:41
powerful. And again, I’m going to reiterate, one of the most powerful
29:44
things that you have at your disposal on SIFT is that SIFT score that um is
29:49
unique to your business and also works with our global data model so that
29:53
you’re getting all the suspicious signals that other companies and our
29:57
network are also putting in. And so, um you can go ahead and block the
30:01
transaction if that score is high enough. Um you can go ahead and block
30:05
it. Just it looks way too fraud. You don’t even need to spend manual time on
30:08
reviewing it. You can just shut it down. You can also cue for manual review and
30:13
that can all happen um before the transaction. So
30:17
yeah, thanks Rebecca. All right, in our last minute here um we have have a
30:23
couple of resources that we want to share. Um so if you’re interested in um
30:29
exploring whether a deep dark web assessment would be a good fit and
30:33
helpful to you in your organization, we’re going to be sending out a
30:36
follow-up email uh either today or tomorrow. So respond to that and just
30:41
declare your interest in um pursuing that and we will get you connected
30:45
either with your CSM um or an account executive to begin that journey. Um, and
30:50
then also if you are interested in learning uh the latest and greatest
30:54
stats uh and research that our team has done looking at account takeovers in the
31:00
past year, um our Q3 2023 digital trust and safety index report is live and
31:06
available on our resources page from our website. So if you just go along the
31:11
menu bar to the resources page and click into that, then you’ll see uh that
31:16
there. and it’s an ebook that’s ready to download and has some fantastic
31:19
information about what’s happening across industries um when it comes to
31:23
account takeovers. So, that’s everything that we have. Thank you all so much uh
31:29
for joining us today and for your questions. We hope that you’re walking
31:33
away with some valuable insights about the spookier signs of account takeover
31:38
and uh what to do about them depending on where you’re at um with your for
31:43
development stage. So, yeah.
31:45
