It seems almost weekly that the media reports a high- profile hacker has initiated a data breach. By doing so, the public is conditioned to believe that data breaches are only caused by hackers and not other external and internal causal factors. But, in a recent factor analysis of more than 3,800 data breaches reported by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRCH), my research assistant and I dis-covered other types of causal factors (Holtfreter & Har-rington model) including internal: loss of data, hacking and theft of data by a current or former employee, im-proper protection or disposal of data, and external: theft of data by a non-employee, partner/third-party theft or loss of data by improper exposure or disposal and hacking by a non-employee. As will be shown, data breaches — especially those initiated by hackers — are very hard, if not impossible, to protect against. This is confirmed in an article in The Wall Street Journal on April 20, 2015, where Danny Yardron, a hacking prevention specialist, mentioned that “No matter how much companies spend
on digital defenses, hackers often still get in (to computer networks) to test the defenses of what is often a weak spot in hackers defenses: people.”
Most data breaches go unreported because of loop-holes in state laws allowing organizations to opt out. Organizations are reluctant to report them because of fear of bad publicity, the effect on stock prices if investors bail out, loss of revenue and profits if consumers flee to competitors, and costs to notify consumers.
To get a better grasp of the scope of the problem that hackers and others are creating, PRCH, Verizon Business (VB) and the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) track and classify the data breaches they learn of through many different sources.
From January 1, 2005, through April 15, 2015, the PRCH has reported 4,517 data breaches and more than 816 million compromised records. Their reported com-promised records are significantly understated because in more than 50 percent of the data breaches the numbers
4 | LEARN MORE VISIT ACFE.com CALL (800) 245-3321 or +1 (512) 478-9000
are unknown. VB reported 2,122 data breaches in 2014. From January 1, 2005, through March 20, 2015, the ITRC has reported 5,203 data breaches and more than 778 million compromised records.
Hackers employ a variety of schemes and methods to infiltrate the networks of organizations with malware to steal personally identifiable information (PII) of cus-tomers to use for their criminal activities or directly rob the organizations of their resources, including cash.
For example, in a major case, cybercriminals used a very simple spear phishing email scheme to fool em-ployees in more than 100 banks and other financial institutions in 30 nations throughout the world to penetrate their computers with malware used to record keystrokes and take screenshots of computers. This scheme allowed the criminals to observe every step in how daily cash transfers were conducted and allowed them to impersonate bank officers and steal more than $1 billion in cash withdrawals directly from the banks or through control of their ATM machines.
In the biggest retail hacking case in U.S. history, hackers installed malware onto Target’s security and payments system in November 2013 allowing criminals to steal credit card information at all of their 1,797 U.S. stores when customers swiped their cards. The stolen information was stored on a Target server controlled by the criminals and was later moved to staging points throughout the U.S. and finally to computers in Russia. What is amazing is this scheme eluded security people who were overseeing a $1.6 million malware detection
tool installed by Target six months earlier.In another major case, Premera Blue Cross in the
state of Washington revealed on February 15, 2015, that hackers used a sophisticated attack to gain unau-thorized access to their information technology sys-tems on May 4, 2014. Eleven million customers were possibly affected, compromising PII including name, address, telephone number, date of birth, Social Se-curity number, member identification number email
address and claim information. At this point it is not known how the hackers infiltrated their network, but no doubt, it was probably people-based. As shown, peo-ple are typically an important piece of the puzzle when PII is compromised through internal and external data breaches. Resolving this problem is far from over.
The data breach problem is getting much worse as evidenced by the organizations that track them. Exter-nal data breaches are a frustrating problem, resulting in a constant battle between the hackers and security. At this point the hackers are winning the battle be-cause, once security people eliminate a malware-related scheme, the hackers change the code and come back with a new version of the scheme. But external hackers are not the entire problem. Organizations are responsi-ble for many internal breaches and need to continually educate their employees about all types of data breach causal factors. Educating employees and the public is not the only fix but is probably the most important one to put in place to help curtail compromised records containing valuable PII and reduce identity theft.

As I have written in many of my cybersecurity/iden-tity theft articles in Fraud Magazine, encrypting all forms of PII with an advanced encryption standard will help immensely.
In order to survive, everything must evolve — including crime and security. As time goes on and fraud fighters become experienced in new fields, criminals evolve their tactics to get to their victims’ pocketbooks or assets.
The ACFE’s course Protecting Against Data Breaches and
Cyberfraud (pg. 38) will prepare your employees to ensure
your organization’s data security, safeguard intellectual
property and protect against cyberfraud. This 2-day,
instructor-led course will guide you through strategies
needed to mitigate the threat of malicious data theft and
minimize the risk of data loss. As criminals evolve, make
sure that your skills progress as well with the ACFE’s various
training opportunities.
Mara McLaughlin’s plans of becoming an attorney quickly changed while
she was working at a private investigations firm in her first job after
college. She realized that her true passion was in investigations. And, no
matter what those investigations, career changes or personal challenges
entailed, she decided she would always keep the faith in her decisions.
“My mother always reminded me to accept the things I could not change
and accept that the best and worst times of my life can coincide,” said
McLaughlin. “When times get tough I remember my mom’s words of
wisdom. I make the choice to wake up and approach each day with a
smile and positive attitude.”
Where were you born and raised?
I was born and raised on Long Island. My father was a school adminis-
trator, so summer vacations were spent on the beach with family and
friends. If we weren’t at the ocean we were enjoying the culture of New
York City or camping up and down the East Coast. My parents always
found interesting things to do with my sisters and me so I enjoyed a
great childhood.
What is your current role and what does it entail?
I am employed as a senior investigator for the New York State Insurance
Fund, Division of Confidential Investigations. I work with an amazing team
of investigators assigned throughout New York, and our division specializ-
es in all areas of workers compensation fraud. We evaluate cases for the
potential of criminal prosecution. We work with local district attorneys’ of-
fices and law enforcement agencies whose ongoing support is essential
to our success and, most importantly, the fight against fraud.
What is a memorable case or project that you have worked on?
I worked on a memorable case when I was employed as an investiga-
tor for the New York State Department of Labor. I was responsible for
enforcing the provisions of a New York State labor law that requires the
payment of prevailing wages while working on a public work project. The
case commenced when a worker complained he was being underpaid
on a public work project. The scope of my investigation encompassed
a one-year period and included surveillance, interviews, the issuing of
subpoenas for multiple business records and an audit of all the financial
records. I discovered that the subject’s company had secured seven ad-
ditional public work projects and failed to pay the proper prevailing wage
to 15 additional victims. My audits found that the subject was falsifying
the certified payrolls and business
records related to the projects.
The evidentiary material secured
proved that the subject bid the
various projects at prevailing wage
rates and in accordance with the
proper payment scale, however
reaped significant monetary gains
by not paying that scale after
securing the projects over other
bidders. Working in conjunction
with the local district attorney’s
office resulted in a guilty plea to
several counts including two felony
convictions and court-ordered
restitution to all of the victims related to the eight projects.
New York State collected approximately $800,000, of which $560,000
concerned the underpayment of prevailing wages. The remainder related
to interest, penalties and recoveries for the New York State Department
of Taxation and Finance.
When you are not working, what types of things do you enjoy doing?
I think it is so important to have a good balance of personal and profes-
sional experiences, and I make spending quality time with my kids a pri-
ority no matter how busy life gets. It’s a challenge at times, but I learned
to restructure the way in which I did things so that I could still make time
for family and friends while earning a living and enjoying my career. I
most enjoy spending time at the beach and always love a great Broadway
show or time in New York City.
I also travel every chance I get. The summer after graduation I traveled
across country for a year with my best friend, and it was one of the best
experiences of my life. Aside from all the beautiful places to see I love
spending time with strangers whose lives are so different than my own
yet wonderful in their own right. In life, every person and experience has
something to teach you, and getting outside your comfort zone often
brings you the best learning experiences you will have.

Conducting Internal Investigations A well-run internal investigation can enhance a company’s overall
well-being and can help detect the source of lost funds, identify respon-
sible parties and recover losses. It can also provide a defense to legal
charges by terminated or disgruntled employees. But perhaps most
importantly, an internal investigation will signal to other employees that
the company will not tolerate fraud.
This seminar will prepare you for every step of an internal investigation
into potential fraud, from receiving the initial allegation to testifying as a
witness. Learn to lead an internal investigation with accuracy and confi-
dence by gaining knowledge about various topics, such as relevant legal
aspects of internal investigations, using computers in an investigation,
collecting and analyzing internal and external information, interviewing
witnesses and writing reports.

New Guide: CFEs Earn 23 Percent More Than Their Non-certified Counterparts
Fraud is a global problem
and companies worldwide
continue to recognize the need
for anti-fraud professionals.
The 2015/2016 Compensation
Guide for Anti-Fraud Profes-
sionals represents an ongoing
effort to gather the data anti-
fraud professionals need to
ensure their career is moving in
the right direction.
With more than 10,000 responses, this year’s Compensation Guide
was created from the largest response we’ve ever received. Further-
more, more than 29 percent of the survey respondents were located
outside of the U.S., the largest sampling in the history of the survey.
More than 20 percent of the responding CFEs had more than 20
years of fraud-related experience, and as the data shows, being
recognized as an expert in the anti-fraud field increasingly correlates
to a significantly higher level of compensation.
According to the report, CFEs continue to earn a significant premi-
um over those without the credential. The survey found that CFEs
earn 23 percent more than their non-certified counterparts. Based
on participant responses, the median total compensation for a CFE
is $91,800, compared to $74,624 for a non-CFE.
In the U.S., nearly every geographical region reported that having
the CFE credential increased their earning potential. CFEs in the
Mountain region reported the highest salary premiums, earning 26
percent more than non-CFEs.
The upcoming Compensation Guide website will include a salary
calculator allowing you to create individualized reports by selecting
qualifying factors like, industry, job function and level of responsibili-
ty. This feature makes it easy to evaluate where you stand in relation
to your colleagues in the profession and provides information you
can use when negotiating with supervisors or potential employees.
The full 2015/2016 Compensation Guide for Anti-Fraud Professionals
is available for download (in PDF) at ACFE.com/CompGuide.

Interviewing Techniques for Auditors Gathering information from employee interviews is an integral part
of the audit process, but getting to the truth requires more than simple
questions. Learn significantly more about a company when you conduct

Detecting Fraud Through Vendor AuditsThe potential for fraud is not solely an internal threat; the businesses
that provide an organization with goods and services can engage in fraud-
ulent behavior as well. One of the ways to mitigate these external risks
is to establish a contractual right-to-audit in purchasing and other vendor
contracts. Auditing vendors and suppliers can be a critical fraud deterrent
and detection device for management to ensure they are being treated
equitably and are not victims of fraud.
Detecting Fraud Through Vendor Audits is a 1-day course designed to ex-
plain how to develop a solid foundation for vendor audits; how to identify
which vendors to target; how to prepare for a vendor audit; how to iden-
tify, gather and audit relevant vendor documentation; and what common
vendor fraud schemes to look for.

Controlling the Risk of Asset MisappropriationAsset misappropriations pose a risk to all organizations. According
to the ACFE’s 2014 Report to the Nations, these schemes are by far the
most common form of occupational fraud, accounting for 85 percent of
cases reported and resulting in a median loss of $130,000 per incidence.
By identifying areas of vulnerability and implementing targeted preventive
and detective measures, anti-fraud professionals can reduce the impact
these threats might have on their organizations.
Learn how to stay a step ahead of this form of employee fraud with the
2-day ACFE seminar, Controlling the Risk of Asset Misappropriation. This
training course will help you assess your organization’s risk of asset mis-
appropriation and will provide best practices for deterring and identifying
the costly theft or misuse of company resources.

ry skill for successful fraud examiners. Poorly designed or delivered presen-

zation, dull your appeal to new clients and degrade your credibility.

iner to design, rehearse and deliver presentations. In this 1-day, instruc-
tor-led course, you will experience hands-on coaching and real-world
scenarios that will prepare you to give your best presentation.
Dr. Paul Homoly, a recognized expert in communication skills, will lead this
course. Dr. Homoly is a Certified Speaking Professional and has been coach-
ing professionals worldwide since 1978. As an attendee, you will receive a
copy of his book, Just Because You’re Leading... Doesn’t Mean They’ll Follow.

ACFE Bookstore Staff Pick: Working with Whistleblowers The ACFE Bookstore offers hundreds of resourc-
es including books and manuals, self-study CPE
courses, the CFE Exam Prep Course, merchan-
dise and more. In this interview, ACFE Associate
General Counsel, Jacob Parks, J.D., CFE, offers his
suggestion on one must-have ACFE resource to
help you in your fight against fraud.
What is your professional background and current role at the ACFE?I am the Associate General Counsel for the ACFE, handling day-to-day
legal issues for the organization. Previously, I worked in the ACFE’s
Research Department, developing content for our courses and train-
ing materials. I also conduct live training for anti-fraud professionals.
What ACFE bookstore product would you recommend as a benefi-cial resource to CFEs?Our online self-study, entitled Working
with Whistleblowers.
Why would CFEs be interested in this product?Whether CFEs conduct fraud examinations or are involved in fraud
prevention at organizations, there are several whistleblowing issues
that they need to be aware of. Whistleblowers are a valuable resource
for investigations, but there are also legal protections for them that
are expanding on the global level. The modern CFE needs to know
how to provide recommendations to help their clients and organi-
zations generate valuable leads in fraud investigations, while also
conducting investigations that will avoid claims of unlawful retaliation.
How is the information in this product useful for CFEs in their professional roles?The data in the ACFE’s Report to the Nations shows that reporting
mechanisms are critical for detecting fraud and mitigating losses.
Organizations with hotlines detected fraud through tips more than
half the time, while organizations without them only detected fraud
through tips a third of the time. The upshot is that when fraud isn’t
being discovered through reporting mechanisms, it is more likely to
be discovered by accident or by notification from law enforcement
— which substantially increases fraud losses, according to our data.
I often hear from our membership that their clients and organizations
either do not have reporting mechanisms in place for misconduct
or that their reporting mechanisms are rarely used. These problems
can be due to an ineffective whistleblower program. Working with
Whistleblowers provides the elements of such programs so that
anti-fraud professionals can recommend ways to detect and prevent
misconduct. It also will keep fraud examiners and their organiza-
tions from violating whistleblowers’ rights during investigations.
