The event, which was organised by the European Cyber Crime and Fraud Investigators (ECCFI), ran from 7-9 May 2019 and took place in Fleming’s Conference Hotel in Vienna. It was the first training session of the P3 Cyberfraud Project, which is funded by the ‘European Union Internal Security Fund – Police’.

The majority of the participants were from Law Enforcement Agencies and there was representation from some key private organisations. There were 71 registered participants from 24 countries. Rui Carvalho was actively involved in the discussion and gave a presentation from the EAST perspective entitled “Stats and Trends on Terminal and Payment Fraud”.

ECCFI is a registered, non-profit association. In addition to supporting the P3 Cyberfraud Project, the purpose of ECCFI is to promote cyber security in Europe, especially secure payment methods. In addition to cyber security, the purpose is to assure online security by bringing together different authorities as well as the private sector security professionals.
