Sber and VK are integrating fraud prevention measures into the MAX messaging service.
In a significant move aimed at enhancing user protection, Sber, VK, and the MAX messenger have joined forces to integrate advanced anti-fraud technologies into the messaging platform. This collaboration combines Sber's robust anti-fraud expertise and technology with MAX's platform, providing users with a higher level of security against phone scams and fraudulent transfers.
Currently, pilot projects are underway, integrating Sber’s security systems into MAX’s messenger environment. These systems are designed to identify suspicious transactions and calls, and can temporarily halt operations before funds are transferred in potentially fraudulent cases. The focus is on providing enhanced protection for users, particularly against phone and online scammers.
As part of this collaboration, the parties also plan to test new online fraud detection tools at an early stage. These tools are expected to further improve protection by enhancing early-stage identification and prevention of fraud. However, specific details on these tools are still under pilot testing.
The implementation of these anti-fraud technologies is focused on the national messenger MAX, developed by VK, which serves as a national alternative to foreign counterparts. VK intends to provide messenger users with the same level of protection as bank clients.
Decisions about deep integration, including data exchange and operational service interaction, will be made based on the results of the pilot projects. Sber will continue to provide expertise and technological support for the anti-fraud project in messenger MAX.
This joint effort between VK and Sber includes testing new tools for early detection of attempted fraud. The goal is to strengthen user protection against phone and online scammers, ensuring a safer and more secure messaging experience for all.
The integration of Sber's advanced anti-fraud technologies into MAX's messenger environment aims to reinforce cybersecurity and finance in the industry, providing users with a secure platform that can identify suspicious activities and prevent potential fraudulent transactions. Once specific details on new online fraud detection tools are determined through pilot projects, these tools are expected to further strengthen the finance sector's resilience against cyber threats, primarily during online transactions and phone calls.
