Following today’s findings from the UK Cards Association on decreased card fraud, Nick Mothershaw, Director of Identity & Fraud Services at Experian UK & Ireland comments:

Posted: 07 Mar 2012 08:48 AM PST

"Today's report of a decrease in credit and debit card fraud is evidence of the continued efforts by UK organisations to combat fraud.  However, it's not all good news, and our own data shows that whilst some areas of financial services have seen a decrease in fraud, the threat has shifted to other areas where fraudsters perceive points of weakness.

“Times of financial strain always see instances of fraud increase, so whilst card fraud is down over the last year, other areas of financial services are experiencing higher levels of threat from both first party and professional fraudsters.

“Experian data shows a surge in mortgage fraud in the latter parts of 2011, amounting to a 77% increase on the previous year.

"It's good to see that fraud protection is a priority across financial services organisations, but it's important to remain on top of the threat and invest in technology that stays a step ahead of the fraudsters."

 

 

Quixant to exhibit its wide range all in one gaming boards at Enada Rimini 2012

Posted: 07 Mar 2012 06:18 AM PST

Quixant will be exhibiting its full range of gaming boards at Enada 2012 in Rimini (Italy). Hall C5 stand 001. The exhibition will take place at Rimini exhibition centre and runs from the 13th – 16th March 2012.

The main focus of interest will be the QXi-106, our all-in-one platform specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Italian "Comma 6a" slot machine market, including AAMS protocol and game storage integrated onto the motherboard and packaged in a convenient slim case that needs no external security enclosure.

The QXi-106 utilises a high performance AMD 64-bit CPU combined with advanced ATI graphics together with dedicated hardware to provide compliance with Article 110, Comma 6a of T.U.L.P.S. Quixant is officially accredited by AAMS (Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato) for the production of gaming platforms for the Italian market.

Gary Mullins, Sales Director of Quixant Ltd said, "The QXi-106 makes it so easy to develop and deploy the best possible performing games quickly and efficiently. We are quite unique in that we actually provide the protocol for the AAMS -smart card communication. This makes the creator of 6A games much faster and the approval process overmuch easier and shorter"

Also, on show will be the QXi-200, the first "all-in-one" gaming PC available on the market to utilise AMD "Fusion" technology in the form of the G-series embedded APUs.  AMD Fusion technology delivers a number of distinct benefits to the QXi-200; namely increased CPU and Graphics performance, extremely low power consumption and a very competitive price.

Uniquely, Quixant supplies complete solutions, combining advanced hardware together with integrated operating software, gaming libraries and communication protocols.
