Identity theft criminals are just as likely to try to frustrate the system before and after the eCBSV launches by shifting to organisations with less stringent account set-up criteria. Organisations that want to avoid an uptick in fraud need to ensure their verification systems are tuned to look for indicators of fraud and that their live account set-up teams are trained to spot fraud, too”

However, in the past five to seven years, both mass- and small-scale data breaches have flooded the underground data markets with this information, allowing identity thieves to create new identities using known data. And, with no easy way of validating if a SSN is connected with the person seeking to open an account, synthetic identity theft has become significantly easier and more prevalent”

Identity theft criminals are just as likely to try to frustrate the system before and after the eCBSV launches by shifting to organisations with less stringent account set-up criteria. Organisations that want to avoid an uptick in fraud need to ensure their verification systems are tuned to look for indicators of fraud and that their live account set-up teams are trained to spot fraud, too”
