Evolution of Technologies and their Relation to Scams and Frauds Anuj D Kankholi Anuj D Kankholi(Student, MSc Cyber security), University Department of Information and Technology, University of Mumbai, Mumbai, India -------------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: The rising use of ultramodern technologies has not only served society but also attracted fraudsters and culprits to
misuse the technology for fiscal benefits. Fraud over the Internet has increased a lot, resulting in a periodic loss of billions of dollars and loss of service providers worldwide. Fraud directly impacts individualities, both in the case of cyber surfer-grounded and mobile-grounded Internet services, as well as when using traditional telephony services, either through landline phones or mobile phones. Druggies of the technology must be both informed of fraud, as well as defended from fraud through fraud discovery and forestallment systems. In this paper, we present the deconstruction of frauds for different consumer-facing technologies from three broad perspectives bandy Internet, mobile, and traditional telecommunication, from the perspectives of losses through frauds over the technology, fraud attack mechanisms, and systems used for detecting and precluding frauds. Keywords: Cyber Frauds, Internet, Authentication Procedures, Analog technology, Repurpose digital, etc.
I. Introduction The world as a whole has seen a rise in technologies in waves, some new trend or informative technology has always guided us forward. Although any or most of the technologies are made with the best intentions, Bad actors have always found a way to use those technologies to scam and fraud people. If we plot all the relevant technological advancements on a graph. The consumption of all relevant technologies has increased drastically. When new technologies emerged and people started using them, Bad actors and technological hackers got new ways into people's lives, and new ways to gather data. In the current world, Data is valuable.[1]
Fig. 1. Speed of Consumption of Technology [9] Today, there are more than 1.5 billion such websites on the World Wide Web fewer than 200 million of them are working. The peak of 1 billion websites is hit for the first time in September of 2014. As per a survey of internet live stats, the overall number of sites has risen tremendously through 2016. The number of sites reached 900 million to 1.7 billion from January 2016 to December 2016 [12]. Scams and Fraud have existed for a long, and the availability of new ways to hack or gather data has only increased the frequency of scams and attacks. This research paper seeks to delve into the intricate relationship between the evolution of technologies and the propagation of scams and frauds. By exploring how innovations in technology have both enabled and combated these illicit activities, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex dynamic. As we venture through time and across the technological
