This study addresses the impact of countermeasures in the control and prevention of online fraud in Saudi Arabia and the influence of the environmental context. Combatting online fraud is facilitated when the public is fully educated and is aware of its types and of the prevention methods available. People are reliant on the Internet; the possibility of being breached by hackers and fraudsters is growing, especially as socialising, online shopping and banking are carried out through personal computers or mobile devices. Online fraud has been described as an epidemic that has spread to most online activities. Its prevalence has been noted to be in regions where there is high adoption of e-commerce, and, along with it, large online financial transactions. The argument is therefore the measures taken are either are inadequate or have failed to effectively address all the issues because of the organisational and environmental context of the country. This research aims to examine online fraud perceptions and the countermeasures designed and used by financial institutions in Saudi Arabia to control and prevent online fraud in its environmental context, to examine the effectiveness/impact of the countermeasures and to examine the factors that may affect/influence the impact of the countermeasures. The qualitative method approach was chosen to ensure balanced coverage of the subject matter. The nature of the research requires a broader, in-depth, examination of the experiences of the participants from their own perspective. Meanwhile levels of awareness are low, because of lack of knowledge and training, a lack of government sensitisation and the religious inclinations of the population. The findings also confirm the efforts of organisations to put in place countermeasures using various technological means, coupled with procedural controls and checks. The measures create obstacles to most customers, who find it cumbersome to engage in online activities because of those procedures and checks. The findings also show two types of regulations: government and organisational rules, with different foci and purposes, which are mostly centred on the monitoring of Internet operations and operational guidelines. The enforcement of rules in the light of prosecuting offenders has also been minimal and passive. The countermeasures of most banks/organisations mostly focus on prevention and detection. However, the findings suggest that the activities in each component and their interrelationships have a collective impact on combatting online fraud. The success of any effort or approach to combat fraudulent activities therefore depends on the activities of the four countermeasure components.

Banks are currently battling rising of fraudulent activities as it damages their relationship with their customers. Online banking fraud is decreasing trust and confidence among the customers and decreasing operating performance and increasing cost for the banks. This paper looks at online banking fraud in Norway and answers the research questions (1). How are bank customers attacked through the internet? and (2). How are banks trying to prevent fraudulent attacks against their customers? Interviews and document collection were used for data gathering, and in total, four interviews were conducted with academics and business professionals. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that BankID fraud, Card fraud, CEO fraud, Investment fraud, Love scams and Phishing are among the most frequent attacks in Norway at present. Attacks contain elements of social manipulation, constantly change and are customized to target victims. The attacks have in common that they all are showing patterns of professionalizing. The study found that Norwegian banks are technologically advanced regarding fraud detection and authentication, and have put efforts into awareness against online banking fraud. However, the main issue of online banking fraud in Norway is seemingly grounded in the interactions made by the customers with the technology and not the prevention system the banks deploy.

A tecnologia da informação e comunicação é um fator importante no desenvolvimento futuro da indústria de serviços financeiros, com especial atenção ao setor bancário. A maioria dos bancos utiliza a Internet como um canal estratégico de distribuição onde seus serviços e produtos possuem uma relação muito próxima com o conceito mais amplo possível de marketing, aquele que descreve plenamente um ambiente e um nicho de negócio e onde o desenvolvimento e evolução deste canal associa-se diretamente a própria evolução do marketing em si. O tema central deste trabalho é apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o canal Internet Banking analisando as principais questões e desafios referentes às fraudes eletrônicas e suas ameaças, além de descrever o impacto das mídias sociais que estão ocasionando dentro das corporações. Realiza-se também um paralelo de como os serviços e produtos bancários acompanharam de perto a evolução do marketing e como, hoje, neste momento de transição de um paradigma econômico para outro, estes dois modelos se relacionam em um ponto específico: a tendência das fraudes no ambiente de Internet Banking e sua evolução para o Social Banking. Analisam-se também quais caminhos serão abertos dentro do novo paradigma de economia e marketing sociais para este tipo de ocorrência. Para atenuar de forma eficaz o risco de fraude, é importante implementar um amplo programa decisório para prevenção, que se estenda além de um conjunto de controles internos sofisticados em todos os níveis e divisões de uma organização. Finalmente, a conclusão e perspectivas futuras da evolução do Internet Banking para o Social Banking com uma análise da evolução das ameaças e fraudes eletrônicas neste novo canal. / Information technology and communication is an important factor in the future development of the financial services industry, with particular attention to the banking sector. Most banks use the Internet as a strategic distribution channel where its services and products have a very close relationship with the broader concept of marketing, one that fully describes an environment and a niche business and where the development and evolution of this channel is directly associated with the evolution of the marketing itself. The central theme of this work is to present a literature review on the Internet Banking channel analyzing key issues and challenges related to electronic fraud and threats, and describes the impact of social media is causing in corporations. Additionally to the threats on the Internet Banking, this work brings an analyze of how the banking products and services are closely followed by the marketing evolution and how at this moment of transition from a economic perspective to another, these two business models are co-related to a specific aspect: The future and trends of the electronic fraud on the Internet Banking towards the evolution to the Social Banking. It also analyzes which paths will also open within the new paradigm of economics and social marketing for this type of occurrence. To effectively mitigate the risk of fraud, it is important to implement a comprehensive decision-making prevention program that extends beyond a sophisticated set of internal controls at all levels and divisions of an organization. Finally, the conclusion and future prospects of the development of Internet Banking for Social Banking with an analysis of the evolution of electronic fraud and threats in this new channel.
