Persistent Threat","Despite the focus on sophisticated AI-driven cyberattacks, physical and low-tech fraud methods — such as counterfeit card mailers and point-of-sale skimmers — continue to victimize consumers globally. These attacks succeed largely because individuals and organizations underestimate 'old-school' techniques and lower their guard against them. Physical skimmers on ATMs and POS terminals silently harvest card and PIN data, while fake replacement card mailers exploit victims' trust in their financial institutions. The persistence of these methods demonstrates that threat actors will continue using any technique that yields results, regardless of its age or simplicity.
