Involvement In spam transactions

In early 2011 a team from the University of California-San Diego, the University of California-Berkeley, and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics investigated spam emails by test transactions. DnB NORD was observed to be third of three banks that provide payment services for 95% of all the spam purchases.[2]
