- Scams are a $450B–$1T global problem, and unlike card fraud, they don't require a breach; just convincing a victim to send money themselves.
- The mule account is the most stable target: every scam needs an exit point, and intelligence gathered before a transaction occurs is more actionable than behavioral monitoring after the fact.
- CYBERA's approach uses agentic personas to engage active scammers and extract verified mule account details, confirmed intelligence, not probabilistic scoring.
- Regulatory pressure is accelerating: the UK already mandates APP fraud reimbursement, and the US, Canada, and Australia are following, raising the stakes for institutions that don't act proactively.
