Myriad Group AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: MYRN), in the wake of recent reports of Mobile Identity fraud costing the European economy millions, is pioneering out-of-band authentication services to validate online transactions and help counter the growing threat of Mobile Identity fraud.
Recent cases of mobile identity theft in Europe have seen customers lose substantial amounts of money; most notably in Germany[1], where individual customers have lost hundreds of thousands of Euros to these fraudsters. Criminals are exploiting a security vulnerability which exists within global telecom networks that allows the interception of SMS communication between a customer and their bank.
