  • OLAF helps uncover suspected textile diversion scheme

    OLAF

    The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has supported a coordinated customs operation with Polish and Spanish customs that led to the seizure of several containers of textiles suspected of being diverted onto the EU grey market instead of being exported to Africa as declared. The operation focused on flows of goods transported from China towards Africa via a rail corridor entering the European Union through Poland and then expected to leave the EU via the ports of Spain to Africa.

  • One in eight workers (13%) admit to selling company logins, Cifas research reveals

    CIFAS

    New findings from the UK’s fraud prevention service, Cifas, reveal a worrying shift in attitudes towards insider‑enabled fraud, with 13% of employees saying they have either sold their company login details to a former colleague, or know someone who has, in the past 12 months. For organisations, the normalisation of credential sharing significantly increases exposure to insider threat, cyber, and financial crime, by providing criminals with a trusted route into internal systems. Cifas’ Workplace Fraud Trends report shows that 13% of respondents also believed selling access to company systems was ‘justifiable’. While three quarters (75%) said the act was completely unjustified, the level of acceptance suggests a growing complacency around internal controls and staff responsibility.
