Cybercrime is evolving rapidly, and the supply chain is a prime target. Fraudsters exploit digital platforms to create false documents, impersonate legitimate businesses, and manipulate transactions—often using AI to enhance sophistication and scale. TT Club warns that these attacks can lead to financial loss, cargo misdirection, and reputational damage.

This page highlights key risks, including phishing, invoice fraud, and synthetic identity scams, and offers practical steps to strengthen resilience. From robust verification processes to staff training and multi-layered security protocols, proactive measures are essential to protect operations against the growing threat of cyber-enabled fraud.
