CYBER FRAUD IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - IMPLICATIONS AND SOLUTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The crime of fraud has evolved significantly in the methods of unlawfully obtaining and misappropriating funds through various digital means and platforms, particularly social media. The fraudster uses digital communication tools to commit modern fraud, commonly referred to as cyber fraud. This crime is considered to be one of the most serious crimes, resulting in significant financial losses for the victims.
This study aims to make people aware of the dangers of this crime and to warn them against responding to these fraudulent messages. It emphasises the need to be vigilant and to check the credibility of the company they are dealing with before taking any action that could lead to financial loss. While this crime may be familiar to many in the context of digital transformation, its concept and implications for individuals and society remain largely unknown due to the lack of explicit legal texts at both local and international levels.
