Trust in Remote Communications: Protecting Oneself from Social and Engineering Scams
Congress Centre, conference hall B3
In the modern world, where more and more transactions and communications are taking place online, fraud and social engineering are becoming a particularly acute problem. Remote communication offers new opportunities for attackers who can use various methods of deception and manipulation to obtain personal information or money. This is an important topic that deserves an in-depth discussion among legal professionals. We must find effective ways to protect people against fraud in remote transactions to ensure security and trust between the parties involved. What are some of the criminal fraud schemes used in remote communication and the distinctive features of how fraudsters behave? Would it make sense to introduce a mechanism that ensures the deferred execution of an agreement between a bank client and a banking organization? What are safe payment methods for remote transactions? How are artificial intelligence technologies being used to analyse people’s behaviour? Is it essential to distinguish the concept of a ‘remote transaction’ as a legal category?
