Cheap Trips, High Risk: Exposing Dark Web Travel Fraud
Join Nikita Kasimerski, Senior Security Researcher at Trustwave SpiderLabs, for a revealing exploration into the world of the underground travel agencies operating on the dark web.
This webinar uncovers how cybercriminals offer real travel services, including flights, hotels, car rentals, and even event tickets, at steep discounts using stolen credit cards, hacked loyalty accounts, and compromised credentials.
You’ll gain insight into:
✅ How underground travel agencies operate: From booking real flights and hotels using stolen credit cards and hacked loyalty accounts to offering 24/7 support and rebooking guarantees, services that mirror legitimate travel platforms while fueling a thriving fraud economy.
✅The mechanics of triangulation fraud: Learn how cybercriminals act as intermediaries between real customers and legitimate travel services, using compromised credentials to book travel, leaving businesses to absorb the financial losses.
✅ Red flags and defense strategies: Discover how companies can detect fraudulent bookings, such as last-minute high-value purchases, mismatched credentials, and suspicious IP activity, and what steps they can take to protect themselves and their customers.
