Fraud is the deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. In the realm of information security, fraud involves manipulating digital systems or data, or exploiting weaknesses in cybersecurity measures, to carry out dishonest acts.

Fraud thrives in the digital age due to the vast amount of personal and financial data available online. Cybercriminals employ sophisticated techniques to access sensitive information, often breaching security protocols and exploiting human vulnerabilities through social engineering. Information security measures are crucial in detecting, preventing, and responding to fraudulent activities to protect individuals and organizations from financial and reputational harm.
