Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, has identified a shift in financial scams within the country, according to Deputy Chairman Stanislav Kuznetsov. Scammers have moved from inducing victims to take loans to posing as brokers, using cryptocurrency and securities trading as fronts. Each scam reportedly results in an average loss of approximately 1 billion rubles. Over the past year, Sberbank's security department has identified and assisted law enforcement in dismantling 38 such fraudulent organizations. Kuznetsov noted that the bank is increasing its use of AI and complex algorithms to preemptively identify risks and track criminal networks.
