A new report released today examining digital banking fraud and financial crime trends in France identifies this summer’s Olympic Games as a potential hub for cybercrime. Citing warnings from the French government, the International Olympic Committee, and the Paris Prosecutor’s office, BioCatch – the global leader in digital fraud detection and financial crime prevention powered by behavioral intelligence – outlines the many opportunities for fraud created by the gathering of 10,000 athletes and millions of fans from more than 200 nations, in Paris at the end of July.
