🚨 Distributors Are Being Used as Pipelines for Fraud Fraudsters are getting smarter—and distributors are a prime target. By spreading fraudulent uploads across multiple distribution platforms, bad actors make it harder to detect and stop their schemes. They’re not relying on just one distributor; they’re using many to ensure there’s no single point of failure. The scale of the problem is staggering. ➡️ Over the past few months we’ve seen 50+ distributors on the platforms we monitor where more than 50% of their streams are fraudulent. ➡️ In some cases, it’s as high as 89%. ➡️ These fraudsters upload tracks, generate streams through bots, stolen accounts, and other methods, siphoning revenue away from artists, managers, and legitimate stakeholders. And this isn’t limited to small-scale players. Our work spans trillions of streams across many streaming services. The issue impacts the entire supply pipeline—artists, managers, distributors, and labels alike. 🎧 Why should distributors care? Fraud doesn’t just steal revenue. It can damage a distributor’s reputation, lead to clawbacks from DSPs, and even expose companies to legal and regulatory risks. Fraudulent streams undermine the trust distributors have worked hard to build with partners and artists alike. 💡 What’s the solution? Distributors need tools that provide visibility across platforms to detect fraud effectively and proactively. With the right solutions, fraud detection becomes a strength—not a liability. At Beatdapp, we’re here to help. Together, we can close these fraud pipelines and protect the industry’s future 🎵 Catch the full presentation here for more information: https://lnkd.in/ggXSRJ-f

🛡️ Fraud Solutions: Build or Buy 🛡️ With so many fraud prevention solutions on the market why should a company want to build its own? 👉 Benefits of Using a Third-Party Provider: 💰 Speedy Setup: The provider tool is ready to use with a nice interface and fancy dashboards. Integrate, create rules, and go! 🚀 💰 Ideal for Most Merchants: If you’re selling designer purses an off-the-shelf solution might be your perfect match. Set it and forget it! 💰 Focus on Core Business: Let the provider handle development and maintenance while you channel your resources on your core business. 🏢 Benefits of Building In-House: 🚧 Customization: Tailor your fraud system to fit your unique business needs. For example, at Bolt the fraud tool is used to check if the cancellation fee should be charged based on whether the driver has started moving towards the customer. This is not something that a generic fraud tool offers. 🚧 Cost Efficiency: For high transaction volumes, having our team of fraud experts and developers beats paying a third party. Plus, with a provider you can’t completely eliminate your own team. We’d still need people for integrations and rule maintenance. 💰 🚧 In-House Expertise: Fighting fraud requires close collaboration across teams. Having our fraud experts in-house ensures they know our product inside out! 🤝 The Verdict? Ultimately, it depends on your specific use case. At Bolt, our in-house team and tooling have proven to be the winning combo! 🏆 Are there any relevant points that I missed? Also, if you are one of the solution providers that contacts me regularly then my team and I are ready to discuss the benefits of your product over a nice steak dinner.

A look into Fraud businesses and ultimately fraud tutoring!
Inside look at how fraudsters do refund abuse 👇 We found this Refund Abuse 101 guide on a fraud forum. An experienced refund fraudster is breaking down their process to help others get started This is actually just their summary of the steps. The full guide was almost 3000 words long 😦 The fraudster says it took them years to perfect this method. But now they’re sharing it with the rest of the forum here, for free. In painstaking detail. This is a good reminder that vulnerabilities and fraud methods don’t stay isolated for long. One refunding fraudster who shares their method could scale into a very expensive problem for your marketplace. Device and location signals are key for fighting refund fraud. 1️⃣ Identify the devices fraudsters are using so you can block them even if they try to use a new account. 2️⃣ Use precise location intelligence to find the relationship between multiple devices, in case the fraudster is using multiple devices. These two data points can help you better fight refund abuse. If you’re a fraud fighter and would like to see the uncensored screenshot, let me know in the comments and I'll DM it to you.

Fingerprint visitor IDs are highly accurate identifiers that uniquely recognize your web or mobile users. Imagine a visitor browsing your site anonymously, then signing up or making a purchase later. Now, you can link their previous anonymous events to their new customer profile. Or let's say that the same visitor showed some red flags before signing up, like multiple failed login attempts or suspicious browsing patterns. Once you know their account information, you can tag those past events, potentially uncovering fraudulent behavior that might have slipped through the cracks. Learn more about how enhancements to Fingerprint's Events API can help build a more complete, dynamic picture of each visitor and their activity over time.
✨Product update✨ We've rolled out two improvements to our visitor identification API — you can now build more comprehensive profiles for users visiting your site! Check out this blog post to learn how you can enrich past identification events and tailor our Suspect Score to your unique environment, creating a more adaptive approach to fraud prevention 🔗 https://ow.ly/5u6850SAPmR #productupdate #deviceintelligence #customerexperience #frauddetection

Money Mules. Late in the stage of fraud (the cash out phase) money mules are a crucial part of having a successful fraud campaign (and for defenders). I admit, I write my own posts, but had a bit of fun with Gemini image creator on this one. But, the creation of mule accounts does not happy so late in the fraud matrix. The creation of mules has a long "warming" process. Once created, fraudsters need to legitimize their mule accounts so they are less likely to be flagged by transactional anti-fraud capabilities. Given the early stage of creation logically we can understand that for defenders identifying mule account creation should happen much earlier in the fraud matrix. Using Behavioural Biometrics as well as Device Fingerprinting with Group-IB's powerful ML techniques for fraud hunting we are detecting mule account creation at the creation phase. Not only that, we are tracking the fraudsters once they attempt across their next attempts, fully disrupting the cash out process. Check out this latest article by Julien Laurent to learn a bit more into what we are doing. The results have been phenomenal and have far exceeded results which customers have experienced using competitor digital channel anti-fraud solutions. PS - I tried to make the mule look as angry as possible, but Gemini was happy it was Friday. https://lnkd.in/dJxSb5bh

When it comes to fraud you don't want to fall into the category of 'Good Enough'. You want to make sure you are doing everything possible to stop fraudsters in their tracks. We can catch fraud from an omni channel perspective, catching different types of fraud and have FCRA and GLBA solutions to do just that. Let's talk about moving you from Good to Great. Some excerpts from this article- The “good enough” approach has been accepting of the status quo of fraud prevention — and clinging to the hope that current and past solutions and tools will be enough to continue to combat fraud effectively into the future, As Bledsoe said, “we’re in a perpetual arms race with the fraudsters. And when we build a higher fence, they build a higher ladder.”
