The Dispatch

The Dispatch brings you stories about commerce, entrepreneurship and technology. Read more on the Mastercard Newsroom.

It’s Fraud Prevention Month. From phishing to vishing to zishing, learn how scammers use social engineering to hook people — and what do if you’ve taken the bait.

Why it pays to be pennywise

If you see tiny but mysterious charges pop up on your card statement, don’t ignore them — this could be a card testing service checking if your credentials are valid so they can be sold to fraudsters.

Prepping for a post-quantum world

The security threat from quantum computers is years away, but the race is on to fortify defenses.

“Tools are weapons. It really is an arms race out there, as we see fraudsters and cyber attackers leveraging these powerful techniques too. We have to make sure that we’re making constant investments.”

Ed McLaughlin, chief technology officer for Mastercard, on harnessing machine learning and generative AI to safeguard its network, to Fortune’s CIO Intelligence newsletter.
