It we can disable the TRUST mode then every user have to login with password and every fraud user have to know the password (at least) of the user. It is not the case that users from other departments share their passwords, but fraud users just bypasses the need to know the password.
If they can alter pg_hba.conf they can almost certainly also change/add users, alter passwords, etc, etc... So from a security perspective it doesn't buy you much.
I don't know if you could build a custom postgresql from sources with trust disabled. But it wouldn't be worth the trouble imo.
