紐約檢察總長起訴Zelle 指控平台安全漏洞助長詐騙金額逾10億美元

紐約訊——紐約州檢察總長莉蒂夏·詹姆斯(Letitia James)於周三對電子支付平台Zelle提出訴訟,指控該平台拒絕採用關鍵安全措施,導致詐騙分子得以從消費者手中盜取超過10億美元。

這宗訴訟在紐約曼哈頓州法院提出,緊接著美國消費者金融保護局(CFPB)於三月放棄了針對Zelle的類似案件。該局在特朗普重返白宮後,已大幅減少執法行動。

Zelle自2017年推出,與PayPal旗下的Venmo及Block(前稱Square)的Cash App等應用程式競爭。其母公司Early Warning Services由美國七大銀行共同持有,包括美國銀行(Bank of America)、Capital One、摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase)、PNC銀行、Truist、美國銀行(US Bank)及富國銀行(Wells Fargo)。

詹姆斯指出,Zelle的母公司及這些銀行多年來明知平台存在被詐騙利用的漏洞,卻抗拒實施基本的防護措施,銀行亦時常忽視客戶的投訴,而Zelle則任由詐騙者繼續在平台上活動。

結果就是詐騙事件「猖獗」,Zelle有時甚至在詐騙發生後拒絕處理,儘管該平台曾保證是現金和支票的安全替代方案,且「由銀行支持,安全有保障」,訴狀中如此寫道。

Zelle回應稱,超過99.95%的交易均無被報告詐騙,領先業界。Zelle表示:「這場訴訟是政治作秀,旨在製造新聞,而非推動進步。檢察總長應聚焦於事實,打擊犯罪行為及遵守法律,而非過度擴權及無理指控。」

Early Warning Services總部位於亞利桑那州斯科茨代爾,七家銀行並未被列為被告。

常見詐騙手法:寵物及水電費騙案頻發

詹姆斯指出,典型詐騙手法包括入侵用戶賬戶進行未經授權的轉賬、誘使用戶為不存在的商品或服務付款,以及冒充銀行、政府機構及公用事業公司。

訴狀舉例,一名受害者被告知若不透過Zelle向名為「Coned Billing」的賬戶支付1477美元電費,電力將會被切斷。另一名受害者透過Zelle分兩次轉賬2600美元購買小狗,卻被騙子要求追加款項,事後向摩根大通和Zelle求助卻無果。

詹姆斯表示,直至2023年在CFPB及多位國會議員展開調查後,Zelle才採納其四年前提出的「基本」安全措施。雖然報告的詐騙損失大幅下降,但這些措施對已受害的消費者來說「為時已晚」,即使如此,Zelle依然促成大量詐騙活動。

詹姆斯強調:「沒有人應該在成為詐騙受害者後,獨自面對困境。」

這宗訴訟要求Zelle加強反詐騙保護,並向受害的紐約消費者支付賠償及損失補償。

此外,詹姆斯今年五月亦曾起訴Capital One,指其向儲戶少付數百萬美元利息,六月則與MoneyGram達成和解,解決匯款服務缺失問題。CFPB則在今年早些時候放棄了類似案件。

評論與啟示:數字支付安全的挑戰與監管責任

這宗訴訟凸顯了當前數字支付平台在安全防護方面的嚴峻挑戰。Zelle作為由多間大型銀行支持的支付工具,本應在安全措施上具備更高標準,但多年來拒絕落實基本保障,導致消費者蒙受巨額損失,令人質疑其對用戶資金安全的重視程度。

另一方面,這也反映出監管機構在新興金融科技領域的執法力度與策略調整。CFPB過去曾積極介入,但隨著政治環境變化,執法力度減弱,導致部分平台安全漏洞未得到及時修補。紐約檢察總長的行動,或許是對此種監管空白的一次重要補充。

對消費者而言,這提醒大家在使用電子支付服務時,不能盲目相信平台的安全承諾,應保持警覺,並積極監察自身賬戶異動。而平台方則必須正視科技風險,主動採納更嚴密的防詐騙措施,才能長遠贏得用戶信任。

最後,這場官司也可能成為金融科技行業安全標準提升的催化劑,促使更多支付平台加強風控,避免類似事件重演。對香港及全球市場而言,亦提供了寶貴借鑒:在推動金融創新同時,安全與監管不可或缺,只有兩者兼備,才能真正造福用戶和社會。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.

Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone night hiker standing in the shallow river at the mouth of the canyon, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with an alluring, confident, quietly sexy mood.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter body shot from slightly low height on the riverbank, placing her on the left third while the water leads into the dark canyon and the star filled sky dominates the top of the frame, preserving the original wide vertical composition.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim athletic build, natural proportions, medium length loose hair, and lightly tanned skin, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic. She stands barefoot in the water with one leg forward, hips relaxed, wearing a fitted cropped technical top and separate high waisted trail shorts with an open lightweight jacket slipping off one shoulder, one hand loosely holding a headlamp at her side and the other brushing hair from her face as she looks up at the stars.

Lighting and Environment
Keep the soft starlight and faint glow from the distant horizon, giving a gentle rim on her shoulders and hair while a subtle fill from the reflected sky reveals her features. The canyon walls, river reflections, pebbled shore, and dense star field stay exactly like the reference, with small ripples around her feet grounding her in the water.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her outfit, keep lighting, perspective, white balance, canyon geometry, and river reflections the same, with realistic scale, body proportions, and clear contact between feet and water surface. Change only the requested element and keep lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same, and absolutely avoid added text, painterly or toon styling, CGI look, blown highlights, banding, plastic skin, overly tidy backgrounds, or floating feet while requiring consistent perspective, consistent white balance, subtle film like grain, and physically correct contact shadows and reflections.

The rider wears a bright green winter jacket, black snow pants, gloves, and a dark beanie, with reflective goggles catching the cold mountain light. A cloud of visible breath escapes from the rider’s mouth in the freezing air. Snow explodes upward from the snowboard, creating sharp, frozen particles suspended mid-air. The background features a dramatic high-altitude landscape with forested slopes and distant mountains under soft, cold blue lighting.
