There Is a Pen That Helps Prevent Paper Fraud. Are Your Digital Assets Equally Unwashable?

Fraud prevention starts with understanding risk.

Fraud expert Frank Abagnale has spent decades teaching businesses and consumers how criminals exploit weaknesses in everyday processes. One of the simplest tools he recommends to help prevent check washing and document fraud is the Uni-ball 207 with Super Ink™ technology.

Watch the short presentation below to learn why.

Fraud Hasn't Disappeared. It Has Expanded.

Yesterday's criminals stole checks.

Today's criminals steal checks and credentials.

Yesterday's criminals altered paper.

Today's criminals alter documents, emails, and wire instructions.

Yesterday's criminals exploited trust.

Today's criminals do the same, only faster and at greater scale.

Yesterday's criminals often needed physical access.

Today's criminals can operate from anywhere in the world.

The tools have changed.

What has changed is the speed, scale, and attack surface.

The objective has not.

The analogy that sticks

Why Frank Abagnale Was Right—And Why Digital ‘Washing’ is Worse

The pen that changed check fraud

Frank Abagnale spent a career forging paper. His fix was chemistry: the Uni-ball 207's pigment ink bonds into the fibers of the page, so a fraudster's solvent can't lift the payee line out.

Digital 'washing' is worse

Attackers don't need your checkbook. A single reused password or spoofed invoice email lets them rewrite wire instructions, encrypt your file server, and exfiltrate customer data—silently, at scale, from anywhere.

Surface-Level Security Washes Right Off

Default Google and Microsoft 365 configurations, consumer antivirus, and a backup nobody has ever tested are the ballpoint pen of IT: fine until someone tries to rewrite history.

“Cyberattacks don’t just disrupt—they devastate. Stop relying on surface-level security.”
