Apple Stock News: Fraud Prevention
Apple Stock News: The EU will request information from Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Booking.com regarding their efforts against online fraud. It wants to ensure these companies take sufficient steps to detect and prevent financial scams. The inquiry covers app stores’ handling of fake applications and search engines’ display of fraudulent results. Violations under the Digital Services Act may result in fines of up to 6% of annual revenue. Apple claims continuous improvement of anti-fraud measures but criticizes EU laws that undermine control over third-party app markets.
