Visa's 24/7 war room takes on global cybercriminals

ASHBURN - In the heart of Data Centre Alley — a patch of suburban Washington where much of the world's internet traffic flows — Visa operates its global fraud command centre. The numbers that the payments giant grapples with are enormous. Every year, £15 trillion flows through Visa's networks, representing roughly 15 per cent of the world's economy. And bad actors constantly try to siphon off some of that money. Modern fraudsters vary dramatically in sophistication. To stay ahead, Visa has invested £12 billion over the past five years building AI-powered cyber fraud detection capabilities, knowing that criminals are also spending big. "You have everybody from a single individual threat actor looking to make a quick buck all the way to really corporatised criminal organisations that generate tens or hundreds of millions of pounds annually from fraud and scam activities," Michael Jabbara, Visa's global head of fraud solutions, told AFP during a tour of the company's security campus. "These organisations are very structured in how they operate." The best-resourced criminal syndicates now focus on scams that directly target consumers, enticing them into purchases or transactions by manipulating their emotions. "Consumers are continuously vulnerable. They can be exploited, and that's where we've seen a much higher incidence of attacks recently," Jabbara said. Scam centres The warning signs are clear: anything that seems too good to be true online is suspicious and romance opportunities with strangers from distant countries are especially dangerous. "What you don't realise is that the person you're chatting with is more likely than not in a place like Myanmar," Jabbara warned. He said human-trafficking victims are forced to work in multi-billion-pound cyber scam centres built by Asian crime networks in Myanmar's lawless border regions. The most up-to-date fraud techniques are systematic and quietly devastating. Once criminals obtain your card information, they automatically distribute it across numerous merchant websites that generate small recurring charges — amounts low enough that victims may not notice for months. Some of these operations increasingly resemble legitimate tech companies, offering services and digital products to fraudsters much like Google or Microsoft cater to businesses. On the dark web, criminals can purchase comprehensive fraud toolkits. "You can buy the software. You can buy a tutorial on how to use the software. You can get access to a mule network on the ground or you can get access to a bot network" to carry out denial-of-service attacks that overwhelm servers with traffic, effectively shutting them down. Just as cloud computing lowered barriers for start-ups by eliminating the need to build servers, "the same type of trend has happened in the cyber crime and fraud space," Jabbara explained. These off-the-shelf services can also enable bad actors to launch brute force attacks on an industrial scale — using repeated payment attempts to crack a card's number, expiry date, and security code. The sophistication extends to corporate-style management, Jabbara said. Some criminal organisations now employ chief risk officers who determine operational risk appetite. They might decide that targeting government infrastructure and hospitals generates an excessive amount of attention from law enforcement and is too risky to pursue. 'Millions of attacks' To combat these unprecedented threats, Jabbara leads a payment scam disruption team focused on understanding criminal methodologies. From a small room called the Risk Operations Centre in Virginia, employees analyse data streams on multiple screens, searching for patterns that distinguish fraudulent activity from legitimate credit card use. In the larger Cyber Fusion Centre, staff monitor potential cyberattacks targeting Visa's own infrastructure around the clock. "We deal with millions of attacks across different parts of our network," Jabbara noted, stating that most are handled automatically without human intervention. Visa maintains identical facilities in London and Singapore, ensuring 24-hour global vigilance.

US, India in talks on deal that may cut tariff below 20%

India and the US have dug in their heels over a few key issues including Washington's demand that India open its market to genetically modified crops - an ask New Delhi has rejected, citing risks to its farmers. - Bloomberg WASHINGTON: The US is working toward an interim trade deal with India that may reduce its proposed tariffs to below 20 per cent, people familiar with the matter said, putting the South Asian nation in a favourable position against its peers in the region. India doesn't expect to receive a tariff demand letter - unlike many other nations this week - and anticipates the trade arrangement will be announced through a statement, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. The interim deal would allow for continued talks, giving New Delhi space to resolve outstanding issues ahead of a broader agreement expected this fall, they said. The statement would likely set a baseline tariff below 20 per cent - compared with 26 per cent initially proposed - with language that would allow the two sides to continue negotiating the rate as part of the final pact, the people said. The timing of an interim agreement is unclear. If finalised, India would be on a short list of trading partners that have secured deals with the Trump administration. US President Donald Trump has otherwise shocked dozens of trading partners this week by announcing tariff rates of as high as 50 per cent in some cases ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline. India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry didn't respond to an email seeking further information. The White House and Commerce Department also did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The US$10.2 billion iShares MSCI India pared losses after the report of an interim trade deal. New Delhi is seeking to secure a deal on more favourable terms than the one Trump said he signed with Vietnam, which included 20 per cent import duties. However, Vietnam was caught off guard by that rate, and is still seeking to bring it down. The UK is the only other country that Trump has announced a trade deal with. On Thursday, Trump told NBC News he's eyeing blanket tariffs of 15 to 20 per cent on most trading partners who haven't been informed yet of their rates. The current global baseline minimum levy for nearly all US trading partners is ten per cent. Tariff rates announced for Asian nations so far range from 20 per cent for Vietnam and the Philippines to 40 per cent for Laos and Myanmar. India was among the first nations to approach the White House for trade talks this year, but signs of strain have emerged in recent weeks. While Trump said earlier this week that an agreement with India is close, he has also threatened additional tariffs over the country's participation in the BRICS group. A team of Indian negotiators is expected to visit Washington soon to advance the talks. India has already put forward its best offer to the Trump administration, making clear the red lines it won't cross in finalising an agreement, Bloomberg News previously reported. Both sides have dug in their heels over a few key issues including Washington's demand that India open its market to genetically modified crops - an ask New Delhi has rejected, citing risks to its farmers. The two nations are yet to find a landing zone on contentious issues, including non-tariff barriers in agriculture and regulatory processes in the pharmaceutical industry, people familiar with the matter said. - Bloomberg
