Traditional fraud tools are officially failing.

In this episode of The Weekly Fraudcast, Gena and Vito dissect a massive fraud ring out of Connecticut that bypassed legacy verification systems entirely.

By hijacking an account that had been dormant for 879 days, fraudsters unleashed 11 rapid-fire orders using the exact same credit card.

Because the AVS and CVV matched perfectly, rule-based models let the attacks right through.

Vito breaks down how behavioral analytics caught what traditional tools missed, highlighting critical signals like device hopping, IP switching, and resale arbitrage patterns.

👇 WHAT WE COVER:

🔹 The Connecticut Case: Why perfect AVS matches are fraud's best friend.

🔹 Behavioral Drift: Spotting the difference between good customers and bad actors switching devices mid-session.
