Case Study: ORNL FCU reduces Zelle-related security threats with Allure Security

ORNL FCU stops 100+ monthly fraud sites with Allure Security

ORNL FCU, a local Florida credit union, faced increased security risks after integrating the Zelle peer-to-peer payment service into its mobile apps. The integration made the credit union a target for fraudsters who launch brand impersonation campaigns, sending malicious SMS messages to members. ORNL FCU needed to protect its members from these phishing attacks but had a small, overburdened team and relied on outsourced IT partners. They contacted Allure Security for its brand protection services to anticipate and mitigate these threats.

Allure Security deployed an AI-powered solution that uses computer vision to scan the internet for brand spoofs, identifying fraudulent sites and social media impersonations that other solutions miss. Their veteran takedown team then executed expedited takedowns of these phishing campaigns. This partnership allowed ORNL FCU to integrate Zelle confidently, knowing its members were protected. The deployment was quick and smooth, and the solution now serves as a critical security layer, effectively reducing the threat of fraud for the credit union's members.
