AUSTIN, TX–(Marketwired – Sep 3, 2014) – From an interview with M-CAT Enterprises CEO Anyck Turgeon, The Fraud Institute releases a free report on cyber-fraud and cyber-security titled Deep Web Fraud 101.

The Fraud Institute, Anyck Turgeon and M-CAT Enterprises (M-CAT), a private provider of global security, fraud and enterprise growth management solutions, want to educate the general public and corporations about the threats all face daily from cyber-crime. 

ABOUT THE DEEP AND DARK WEBS

Rarely do breached organizations or individuals know about what happens to their information once it is stolen. With access to only four percent of the web, the public is unaware of the remaining ninety-six percent of internet content and transactions being performed every nanosecond. With over 7.9 trillions of megabytes of hidden content, the “Deep Web” and “Dark Web” offer organizations like ISIS (The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), other terrorist groups and organized crime an opportunity to surpass the financial wealth of their competitors through highly-profitable cyber-fraud exchanges. By taking a deep dive into each layer of the “Deep Web,” readers will learn why and how cyber-fraud crimes are gaining momentum. 

HOW ARE CORPORATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY THE DEEP AND DARK WEBS

While security breached corporations face lawsuits, IRS audits, bankruptcies, employee departures or terminations and business closures, individuals with stolen identities remain most vulnerable. Although financial losses are often covered by financial organizations like banks and credit card providers, end-consumers end up with negative credit reports, denied job applications, frozen access to money and financial assets as well as isolation from their entourage. Fraud also impacts victims emotionally, often leaving them in a prolonged state of despair state to severe depression. In the worst cases, fraud has led victims and perpetrators to commit suicide. Examples of such tragedies include Bernie Madoff’s son Mark, Rene-Thierry de la Villehuchet (French aristocrat and money manager who lost $1B of clients’ money in the Madoff scheme) and Center City lawyer Andrew H. Gaber (who was caught committing insurance fraud).
