Real Wire Fraud Cases and Lessons Learned at ALTA EDge

Criminals don’t just intercept transactions—they infiltrate them. By studying workflows, exploiting digital gaps and manipulating human behavior, fraudsters have turned real estate into one of their most profitable targets. Join us March 18–20 in Frisco, Texas, to learn from title professionals on the front lines of fraud.

At ALTA EDge, “The Great Transaction Heist: Inside Modern Wire Fraud” pulls back the curtain on how modern wire fraud actually works. Sponsored by FNF Family of Companies, this General Session on Thursday, March 19, takes you inside real cases as they unfolded, from the first suspicious email to the scramble to recover stolen funds. You’ll see how thieves gain access, where vulnerabilities hide and how even strong safeguards can be bypassed.

CE/CLE credit is available.

This session highlights:

  • Bruce Phillips, senior vice president and chief information security officer at WFG National Title Insurance Co.
  • Sarah Frano, vice president of corporate underwriting at First American Title Insurance Co. and host of the First on Fraud podcast
  • Moderated by Chris Morton, chief executive officer of the American Land Title Association
  • Featuring ALTA President David A. Townsend Esq., NTP, senior vice president, FNF Family of Companies
