• Technical external frauds are committed externally, i.e. from outside the network, and are executed by gaining access into the network system using tools such as hacking.


• Technical Internal Frauds are committed by gaining internal access to the network system. Internal frauds can be very different from external frauds and are more often than not be driven by personal grudges or revenge.


• In India, telecommunication services are primarily regulated by the provision of the Indian Telegraphy Act, 1885, the TRAI Act, 1997 and regulations issued by the Department of telecommunication.


• Due to increase in process-oriented frauds and malicious frauds, it is important to implement an effective fraud management system.
