Surveying the Landscape of E-Banking Frauds: Assessing Awareness and Safety Measures
As the world becomes increasingly digital, the risk of e-banking frauds is on the rise. To better understand the awareness of e-banking frauds and the safety measures taken by individuals, we conducted a survey titled 'Questionnaires on awareness of e banking frauds and safety measures.' This survey aimed to gather insights into the knowledge and practices of individuals regarding e-banking frauds. The survey comprised 20 different questions, covering various aspects of e-banking awareness and safety measures. Let's delve into some of the key findings from the survey:
1. Awareness of E-Banking Frauds: The survey revealed varying levels of familiarity among participants. While some respondents were very familiar with e-banking frauds, others admitted to being somewhat or not familiar at all.
2. Victims of E-Banking Fraud: A significant percentage of survey participants had fallen victim to e-banking fraud, highlighting the importance of understanding and implementing safety measures.
3. Safety Measures: The survey explored the safety measures employed by individuals to protect their e-banking accounts. Strong and unique passwords, two-factor authentication, and regular monitoring of account activity were among the common practices respondents adopted.
4. Recognizing Fraudulent Websites: Participants were presented with signs that indicate a website's fraudulent nature. Poor website design, unsecure SSL certificates, and requests for sensitive information via email were notable red flags identified.
5. Communication Channel Safety: The survey assessed which communication channels respondents consider safe for receiving messages from their banks. Official bank applications or websites, phone calls from the bank's official number, and emails from the bank's official address were considered the most secure options.
