Fighting Account Takeover Fraud with 6 Key Behavioral Signals
Account takeover attacks have surged 40% over the past year, as bad actors increasingly target loyalty points and stored payment methods.
In this episode of The Weekly Fraudcast, Vito Petruzzelli and Gena Rivera tackle one of e-commerce's fastest-growing threats.
They break down how fraudsters are spinning up typosquatting domains and exploiting accounts that have been dormant for over a year.
Vito shares six empirical signals you can use to fingerprint account takeover attempts, including tracking password reset timing and measuring device fingerprint "lie counts".
Katarina, Thomas, Deanne, and Shelley also share real-world challenges covering everything from fake police reports to freight forwarding schemes.
