Wire Transfer Fraud – The exact cost of cyberattacks on title companies is difficult to quantify. However, industry reports suggest the average cost per wire fraud incident can be near $200,000. Over 25% of title companies reported experiencing wire fraud attempts in the last few years.
The FBI reports that the number of wire fraud incidents recorded in recent years is expected to break records. According to a survey by ALTA, only 17% of victims successfully recover all funds lost in wire fraud incidents each year, emphasizing the importance of rapid response and business continuity plans.
Lack of Security Awareness Training – In a recent report, only 37% of title company employees reported receiving cybersecurity awareness training in the past year. Lack of training is a risk factor!
