Redirection Fraud

You may be familiar with web card skimming, where a fraudster replaces the payment iframe on an ecommerce site with a fake version designed to intercept payment details or divert a transaction. However, there’s another variation that, while not new, is something we encounter far less often. It was highlighted this week during a call from an ecommerce vendor: redirection fraud. In this scenario, the attack starts much earlier in the customer journey.

From Data Analytics to AI: The Technology Behind Modern Fraud Detection

A supplier changes its bank details at 3:12 p.m. Three invoices arrive before 5:00, each just below the level requiring senior approval. That evening, an unfamiliar device accesses the payment account. None of those events proves fraud. Together, they form the kind of pattern modern detection systems are built to recognise.

5 Ways to Use Log Analytics and Telemetry Data for Fraud Prevention

As fraud continues to grow in prevalence, SecOps teams are increasingly investing in fraud prevention capabilities to protect themselves and their customers. One approach that's proved reliable is the use of log analytics and telemetry data for fraud prevention. By collecting and analyzing data from various sources, including server logs, network traffic, and user behavior, enterprise SecOps teams can identify patterns and anomalies in real time that may indicate fraudulent activity.

How Return Fraud Detection Misses the Products Inside the Box

Many return fraud detection workflows stop at the process layer. They confirm that a label was scanned, an RMA number matches an order, and a package falls within an accepted weight range. None of those checks confirms what is inside the box. A returned item can clear every check and still differ from the product that shipped. It may be a swapped SKU, a downgraded substitute, or a counterfeit. For teams processing returns at scale, this fraud pattern can pass unnoticed because the tooling verifies a transaction rather than inspecting a physical object.

How to Prevent Cash Theft and Skimming in Your Business

Every business that takes cash or cards is a target, even when nothing has gone wrong yet. Money tends to leak out quietly: a few notes missing from the till, a cloned card at the terminal, and a slow drain that only surfaces when the numbers stop matching. Most of it is preventable with a handful of steady habits. Here is how to protect both your drawer and your customers.

INSOCKS for proxy governance quality control and scalable team workflows

Proxy infrastructure becomes more valuable when it is managed like a governed business resource instead of a one click purchase. For teams that need repeatable buying rules, visible quality signals, and cleaner reporting, INSOCKS can be treated as a platform for proxy governance rather than only a catalog of IP addresses. The service combines product variety, fraud screening, usage history, API access, and support channels in a way that helps teams build internal standards for selection, testing, approval, and renewal.

498 Fake FIFA World Cup Domains and How Phishing Sentinel Catches Them

The FBI published a warning last week. Threat actors have registered more than 498 fake domains tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Fake ticket sites. Fake job listings. Fake merchandise stores. All live in DNS right now. Every one of those domains is catchable. Not after victims report fraud. Before anyone gets hurt. That is what DNS Spy’s Phishing Sentinel is built to do.

How to Overcome Government Payment Fraud with Speed and Scale

Government payment fraud is a fast-growing risk for public sector organisations in Australia and globally. From welfare and healthcare payments to business grants and disaster relief, increasingly sophisticated organised criminal networks and other actors exploit complex, high-volume government programs to unlawfully access public funds. The impact is significant—billions lost, program integrity undermined, and essential resources diverted.
