Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Abigail Bishop:

Last year, we referred over 100 bad actors to law enforcement authorities across the world. We are pleased to share publicly that we recently worked in partnership with Microsoft to put together a joint referral to Indian authorities that resulted last week in raids of 78 locations associated with technical support impersonation scams that had affected, it has been confirmed, thousands of Amazon and Microsoft customers. That serves as an anecdote on some of the most recent successes we have had. We are working very closely with law enforcement across the globe.
