What should I do if fraud is linked to a cyber incident (account takeover, credential theft, or system compromise)?

Cyber-enabled fraud is the exposure where a technical compromise becomes the vehicle for theft: account takeover, stolen credentials, business email compromise redirecting payments, or system intrusion used to alter banking details or authorise transfers.

For a board it matters because it fuses two crises - a security breach and a financial fraud - each with its own legal clock, and because funds often move irreversibly within hours.

This report explains how the risk manifests in your chosen jurisdiction and industry, and the breach-notification, banking and data-protection duties that attach.

It covers the indicators that distinguish external intrusion from insider facilitation, realistic loss and recovery ranges, and the joint controls spanning security and finance. It also covers the simultaneous engagement of incident responders, counsel, forensic accountants and banks needed to preserve evidence and recovery options.
