It is FIBRFriday at Sift. Read below for some of the new results from the Sift data.

We're back with another #FIBRFriday, where we share insights from our Fraud Industry Benchmarking Resource, FIBR. This week, we're taking a close look at accounts with loyalty points, which have a high rate of account takeover attacks (ATO), reaching as high as 11% in Q1 of this year, well above other industry averages which hover around 2-3%. Online accounts holding loyalty points are prime targets for account takeover attacks because these points have monetary value and can be redeemed for goods, services, or discounts. Attackers can easily exploit these accounts for financial gain, often with less scrutiny compared to direct financial transactions. And many consumers may not monitor their loyalty points as closely as their bank accounts, making it easier for fraudsters to go undetected. 🔗 FIBR is interactive, explore the tool yourself to compare your business's fraud metrics across industries or geographies: https://buff.ly/3K7l9ES #FraudPrevention #FraudTrends #Fraud #FraudRates #SiftFIBR #FIBRInsights #ATO #AccountTakeovers

📈 We're here with another #FIBRFriday, our weekly series where we share insights from our Fraud Industry Benchmarking Resource, FIBR. In our latest Digital Trust Index, powered by FIBR data, we found that the average account takeover (ATO) attack rate increased by 24% in Q2 2024 compared to the same time last year. And consumers are feeling it -- 24% of consumers surveyed by Sift have been a victim of ATO in the past year, up from 18% in 2023.

We're back with another #FIBRFriday, where we share insights from our Fraud Industry Benchmarking Resource, FIBR. Today, we're looking at how payment fraud affects the digital goods and services industry. FIBR shows us that this sector sees a payment fraud attack rate above 3% throughout last year, reaching a peak of 4.3% in Q2 of this year, consistently above other industry averages. One of the reasons this space faces a high payment fraud attack rate is the instant delivery of products, which allows fraudsters to quickly exploit stolen payment information. Additionally, the high resale value of digital items, the ease of perpetrating online fraud, and the anonymity and global reach of digital transactions also make digital goods and services a prime target for fraudsters. 🔗 FIBR is interactive, explore the tool yourself to compare your business's fraud metrics across industries or geographies: https://buff.ly/3K7l9ES #FraudPrevention #FraudTrends #Fraud #FraudRates #SiftFIBR #PaymentFraud #DigitalGoods

📈 It's finally Friday, which means another #FIBRFriday, where we share insights from our Fraud Industry Benchmarking Resource, FIBR. Today we're looking at the digital goods & services industry, which not only sees a higher overall payment fraud rate compared to other industries, but also a 13% increase in payment fraud in Q2 of 2024 compared to the same time last year. This particular industry is highly vulnerable to fraud due to its rapid growth, instant transactions, and absence of physical shipping for verification. Fraudsters exploit these factors, targeting stored financial data and personal information in customer accounts, leading to increased payment fraud and account takeovers. 🔎 What other factors could contribute to this high fraud rate?

We're here with another #FIBRFriday, our weekly series where we share interesting findings from our Fraud Industry Benchmarking Resource, FIBR: We've just expanded FIBR with trend data for account takeover (ATO) attack rates and two-factor authentication (2FA) rates and today we're taking a deeper dive into what the 2FA data can show us: 🔹 Two-factor authentication (2FA) challenges occur in about 10% of transactions overall. 🔹 However, the 🍟 food ordering and delivery🥤services have a 2FA rate of 📉 3.5%—slightly more than one third of the average rate across all industries. 🔹 For businesses like these, it’s more important to focus on speed-of-purchase and reducing friction. 🔹 Other verticals, such as those selling higher value goods, may engage 2FA at a higher rate to protect user accounts that hold a higher stored value.
