Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dualta ? Broin:

I am happy to give the Meta perspective. The numbers we have are global numbers. They are published in our transparency report. The report has been evolving. It started off with just a very small number of categories. It has broadened but has not reached the granular level in terms of fraud. Again, the numbers are global. I am referring to the 1.1 billion fake accounts in the first half of 2023 and 2.7 billion instances of spam in the same period.
