Fraud
Data leakage is the intentional or accidental exposure of sensitive data through any channel where it is stored, processed or transmitted. This post covers its three main causes and the DLP solutions used to prevent it.
ATM
ATMs generally hold your bank/credit card inside the card reader slot until the transaction is completed. Fraudsters insert foreign objects such as paper or adhesive-coated cards into the reader to trap the customer's card inside.
Chargeback
A chargeback is the process of requesting that an amount paid by credit card be refunded, either because the goods or services paid for were not received, or because a transaction is identified as one the cardholder did not carry out.
Credit Card
KKB was established, under banking law, to enable the exchange of all kinds of information and documents among at least five banks, and it also shares credit information about customers. The Credit Bureau of Turkey also serves deposit banks, participation banks, financial institutions, and more.

Chargeback
A chargeback is the refund of an amount paid by credit card to the cardholder's card when the purchased goods or services were not received, or when a transaction was not actually carried out by the cardholder.
Security
Forgery in card payments means transactions made with card details without the cardholder's knowledge, or purchases with counterfeit or stolen cards. Merchants cannot eliminate fraud and chargeback risk, but they should aim to reduce it to reasonable levels.

Cash trapping is a type of ATM fraud in which criminals install a device on the ATM or interfere with its operation to trap dispensed cash, making it difficult to detect until the fraudster returns to retrieve the trapped money.
