Question 1

In social engineering attacks, fraudsters exploit human ____________ rather than technical vulnerabilities.

Correct answer is 3: Psychology. They work with our feelings, logical abilities and stress. To create a sense of urgency and exploiting greed or fear.  

Question 2

Which payment practice creates the highest fraud risk for Nordic businesses?

Correct answer is 2: Transferring to newly provided bank details without verification. This practice creates the highest fraud risk because it targets the verification process rather than the payment method itself. SEPA transfers and wire transfers are standard business practices in Nordic countries, so the danger doesn't come from using bank transfers—it comes from failing to verify new payment details through independent channels. This is exactly how many business frauds succeed: fraudsters intercept communications and provide "updated" bank details, exploiting businesses' trust in familiar communication while requesting changes to established payment routines. Always verify any new payment information by contacting the vendor through previously confirmed contact details, not through the communication that provided the new banking information.

Question 5

What is a good rule of thumb when it comes to scams?

Correct answer is 2:  Be a bit suspicions and remember to stop and think before you act. 

Question 6

What is a deepfake?

Correct answer is 1: Deepfakes is when someone used artificial intelligence (AI) to create convincing fake audio, video, or images of real people. In business fraud, criminals use this technology to impersonate executives in video calls or create fake voice messages requesting urgent payments. Always verify unusual requests through independent channels, even if the person appears to be speaking directly to you.
