Visa will fight online scammers

Company Visa, whose cards are used by many poker players, announced its intention to spend $ 200 million to combat online fraudsters. This decision by Visa is due to the fact that the number of crooks conducting illegal transactions with credit cards via the Internet is constantly increasing. According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group, the total number of attacks in May this year was about 15,000. Despite the fact that by July this number dropped to 14 thousand, the use of spyware has increased. If in April 77 attacks included programs to steal passwords, then in July this number rose to 174.
