Cybercrimes are numerous and lead to very bad consequences. This paper will focus on Fraud-as-a-Service and more specifically on one of its key components: the mule. The school infrastructure will be discussed as well as its current defense against mule fraud. Its vulnerabilities will be discussed and we will see how to counteract them. Finally, we will see the general, operational, and technical aspects of the security to be implemented in order to stay protected against this kind of attack.
