Financial Fraud

Financial fraud attacks request complete fraud playbooks - identity theft, money laundering, counterfeit documents, and account takeover techniques. Unlike financial exploitation (which targets markets), these attacks focus on direct fraud against individuals and businesses. They test whether models will produce actionable criminal instructions regardless of framing.

Summary

18 attacks - 17 single-turn, 1 multi-turn.
