Cyber Crime on the rise

Kenya had the 10th highest rate of suspected Digital Fraud in the first half of 2024 out of the 19 countries and regions for which TransUnion provided regional breakdowns.

In the first half (H1) of 2024, 4.6% of all attempted digital transactions where the consumer was located in Kenya were identified as suspected Digital Fraud in a recent TransUnion® (NYSE:TRU) analysis.

TransUnion also determined that retail, gaming, and communities (online dating, forums etc.) were the industries that had the highest suspected Digital Fraud rate for transactions where the consumer was in Kenya during the analysis period.

Some of these findings are in the newly released TransUnion H2 2024 Update to the State of Omnichannel Fraud Report, which explores fraud trends in the first half (Jan. 1-June 30) of this year. It found that some industries were particularly targeted, even though Digital Fraud affects many industries in Kenya.
