Financial Crime & Security

EAST Financial Crime & Security (FCS) Events are user-driven events aimed at professionals involved with identifying, preventing and detecting security risks and crime relating to ATMs and other self-service terminals from a wide range of organisations, including banks and police forces.

The 2018 EAST FCS Event took place on 10th October 2018. It was held in London and co-located with Retail Banking Research’s (RBR) ATM & Cyber Security 2018 conference at the Park Plaza Victoria hotel in London. The Financial Crime and Security seminars comprised of two dedicated tracks:

• Terminal Fraud Seminar (organised by the EAST Expert Group on All Terminal Fraud – EGAF)

This interactive event focused on two key outputs of EAST EGAF – guidelines regarding logical attacks on ATMs and standardised Fraud Definitions.  An introduction to the Group was followed by a presentation of the latest EAST Fraud Statistics (H1 2018).  A session then focused on the evolution of cash-out /jackpotting attacks, followed by a session highlighting Guidelines on how to counter them.  A perspective on card shimming in the UK was then be given, followed by a session on the importance of standardising fraud definitions.
