Stay ahead of card testing attacks
Account Takeover Protection
Prevent bad transactions before they take place by protecting customer accounts. Our solution can identify suspicious account activity, so you can keep fraudsters at bay.
Account related fraud occurs when fraudsters use stolen consumer credentials (typically username/email and corresponding passwords) to take control of an existing account. These same individuals may also use stolen personal information to establish new fake accounts. The fraudsters can then use these accounts to carry out unauthorized activities, including loyalty fraud, card testing and bad transactions.
Block fraud at the account level to avoid bad transactions
Compromised accounts can ultimately produce more fraudulent transactions, along with the associated chargebacks, loss of inventory, and dispute resolution costs.
By identifying and reducing account fraud up front, you could remove the potential for bad transactions and related costs downstream.
Safeguard your loyalty programs
Fraudsters are also on the lookout for weak points in loyalty programs. In this scenario, cybercriminals takeover good customers' accounts to steal reward points and resell or redeem them.
Account Takeover Protection monitors high-risk behavior at account access, purchase and redemption of points—so you can protect your incentive programs and drive customer loyalty.
More fraudsters are using botnets to superpower their card testing schemes. In these attacks, fraudsters run thousands of low-value transactions on a merchant's site to "test" the validity of card details. By the time merchants notice, they often face a staggering number of authorization fees, and the chargebacks may jeopardize their standing with major processors.
Promote customer trust and recurring revenue
Account related fraud can have far-reaching consequences for victims, negatively impacting brand loyalty and recurring revenue. Account Takeover Protection can keep both your users and your reputation safe while ensuring your good customers enjoy a seamless experience on your site.
Protect customer accounts from credential stuffing
Cybercriminals use sophisticated methods to access accounts. The now prevalent use of botnets means fraudsters can conduct large-scale automated login attempts to validated and use stolen credentials. This, credential stuffing, puts businesses at risk of account related fraud. Account Takeover Protection screens for credential stuffing to help keep your business safe.
