Banken eisen meer actie van sociale media tegen internetcriminelen

Nederlandse grootbanken eisen actie van Meta, TikTok en Google tegen de explosieve toename van fraude via sociale media. Dat meldde het FD onlangs (€). Meer dan 70% van alle fraudepogingen kent zijn oorsprong op deze kanalen, zo blijkt uit onderzoek. En ik zie inderdaad vrij weinig gebeuren bij de grote sociale media-diensten.

De aanleiding klinkt nogal dringend:

Banken doen de oproep naar aanleiding van de jaarlijkse publicatie van de fraudecijfers, waaruit blijkt dat de schade als gevolg van bankhelpdeskfraude steeg met ruim 3 miljoen euro en in 2025 uitkwam op 25,8 miljoen euro. Ook de schade als gevolg van phishing steeg met 1,8 miljoen euro, naar bijna 2,6 miljoen euro. Ondanks de stijging van de schade nam het aantal slachtoffers van bankhelpdeskfraude wel af: met 14% naar iets minder dan 5.900 personen.
Het onderzoek waarnaar men verwijst is een rapport uit 2025 van UK Finance, de Britse brancheorganisatie voor de financiële sector. Zij onderzochten data van hun leden over gemelde fraudezaken en hun oorzaken, en concluderen daarbij inderdaad dat in 2024 70% van de fraudezaken ‘online sources’ kennen. Het gaat dan meestal om “lower-value scams” zoals aankoopfraude (ik denk dan aan Marktplaatsoplichting-achtige zaken)

Het rapport spreekt van “online fraud” en denkt daarbij aan zaken als Authorised Push Payment (APP)-fraude, waarbij oplichters via social engineering slachtoffers manipuleren om real-time betalingen te autoriseren. Dit kunnen investeringsscams zijn, malafide advertenties (hoi Jort) of de nog steeds werkende romance scams.

Moeten social media hier wat mee? Zeker. Artikel 34 en 35 Digital Services Act verplichten grote platforms (VLOPs) tot een algemene mitigatie op “systeemrisico’s”, dingen die de maatschappij raken door hun omvang en impact. In september deed de Europese Commissie een informatieverzoek aan platforms zoals Apple, Booking, Bing en Google over hoe zij omgaan met oplichters die hun platform misbruiken. Ik heb nog geen resultaten daarover gelezen.

Vermoedelijk zullen de oplossingen uitkomen bij betere know-your-customer analyse van zakelijke accounts, trusted flaggers uit de financiële sector die direct takedowns kunnen bevelen en het beter publiceren van advertenties in een repository zodat onderzoekers er patronen in kunnen vinden om detectie te automatiseren. Maar ik gok zomaar dat men dit niet vrijwillig gaat doen.

Musk Accused of 'Selective Amnesia', Altman of Lying As OpenAI Trial Nears End

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: A lawyer for Elon Musk hammered at the credibility of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Thursday, near the end of a trial over whether to hold the ChatGPT maker and its leaders responsible for allegedly transforming the nonprofit into a vehicle to enrich themselves. OpenAI's lawyers fought back, claiming the world's richest person waited too long to claim OpenAI breached its founding agreement to build safe artificial intelligence to benefit humanity, and couldn't claim he was essential to its success. "Mr. Musk may have the Midas touch in some areas, but not in AI," said William Savitt, a lawyer for OpenAI. "To succeed in AI, as it turns out, all Mr. Musk can do is come to court."

The claims were made during closing arguments of a trial in the Oakland, California, federal court. [...] In his closing argument, Musk's lawyer Steven Molo told jurors that five witnesses, including Musk, former OpenAI board members and former OpenAI Chief ScientistIlya Sutskever, testified that Altman was a liar. Molo also noted that during cross-examination on Tuesday, Altman did not say yes unequivocally when asked if he was completely trustworthy and did not mislead people in business. "Sam Altman's credibility is directly at issue in this case," Molo said. "If you don't believe him, they cannot win."

Molo accused OpenAI of wrongfully trying to enrich investors and insiders at the nonprofit's expense, and failing to prioritize AI's safety. He also challenged Brockman's goals for the business, citing Brockman'sstatementthat his own OpenAI stake was worth nearly $30 billion. "The arrogance, the lack of sensitivity, the failure to account for just common decency is really, really abhorrent." Musk also accused Microsoft, which invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 and $10 billion in 2023, of aiding and abetting OpenAI's wrongful conduct. "Microsoft was aware of what OpenAI was doing every step of the way," Molo said.

Sarah Eddy, another lawyer for the OpenAI defendants, accused Musk and his legal team in her closing argument of resorting to "sound bites and irrelevant false accusations."
Eddy said by 2017, everyone associated with OpenAI -- including Musk, then still on its board -- knew it needed more money to fulfill its mission than it could raise as a nonprofit. "Mr. Musk wanted to turn OpenAI into a for-profit company that he could control," she said. "But the other founders refused to turn the keys of AGI (artificial general intelligence) over to one person, let alone Elon Musk."She also said if Musk truly believed AI should serve humanity, he would not have pushed to fold OpenAI into his electric car company Tesla, or made his rival xAI a for-profit company.

Musk had a three-year statute of limitations to sue, and OpenAI's lawyers said his August 2024 lawsuit came too late because he knew several years earlier about OpenAI's growth plans.
Eddy expressed disbelief that Musk claimed he did not read a four-page term sheet in 2018 discussing OpenAI's plan to seek outside investments. "One of the most sophisticated businessmen in the history of the world" wouldn't have "stuck his head in the sand," Eddy said. Savitt accused Musk of having "selective amnesia." Microsoft's lawyer Russell Cohen said in his closing statement that Microsoft wasn't involved in the key events of the case, and was "a responsible partner at every step." On Monday, the nine-person jury is expected to begin deliberating. The judge and lawyers will also return to court to discuss possible remedies if Musk wins, including how OpenAI should be restructured and what damages might be awarded. If Musk loses, there will be no remedies to consider.

Westward

From the southern end of the Tyndall Range - looking into the approaching weather.

Quite a bit going on here. Ocean Beach at the left, Mts Zeehan (701m), Heemskirk (751m) and Dundas (1141m). A controlled burnoff near the township of Zeehan itself (smoke tells the story of how windy it was up there) and the Henty River Gorge running through the bottom third of the frame. Lake Langon in the center and all manner of access roads and mining tracks.

Not to mention prefrontal cloud streaming out of the north west.
