It is easier to go after humans than systems – CSA explains rise in digital fraud

Mr Cudjoe-Seshie said the fight against digital fraud remains a continuous process, with authorities combining public education, technical interventions and collaboration with businesses to protect users.

Speaking at the JoyNews-Hubtel dialogue on the impact of fraud on Ghana’s digital economy on Wednesday, July 22, Mr Cudjoe-Seshie said social engineering remains one of the biggest methods used by cybercriminals to exploit individuals and businesses.

Mr Cudjoe-Seshie said the shift towards targeting individuals is because attacking systems requires more technical effort, while exploiting human trust can provide quicker results.
