A bustling marketplace for this stolen financial data exists in the criminal underworld.

2:15 Panel 2: Improving Authentication for the Remote Channel
Payments innovations have allowed a broad array of merchants and consumers to enjoy the benefits of e-commerce. However, cybercriminals are taking advantage of this fast-growing and complex ecosystem by developing new methods to perpetrate fraud in remote channels. Criminals are capturing both DDA and card data and using this information to facilitate payments fraud on the Internet. And now, the emergence of the mobile market is beginning to attract the criminal element. Today's identity credentials—of user names and knowledge-based passwords and challenge questions—are proving to be ineffective against cybercriminals. This panel will explore emerging solutions that can improve authentication for remote payments.
