They explore the impact of bots on businesses, the challenges of maintaining user experience while ensuring security, and the innovative solutions offered by DataDome, including their DataDome Account Protect tool. The conversation also touches on the importance of edge processing, the evolution of threats, and the union of fraud prevention with cybersecurity efforts. Here are some key take aways from the episode: Bots are increasingly used for malicious activities beyond inventory theft. Account Takeover (ATO) is a significant concern for online businesses. Balancing user experience with security is crucial for customer retention. Edge processing allows for better detection of legitimate user behavior. The rise of AI has made it easier to create fake reviews and comments. Many websites lack basic protection against bot attacks. The cost of bot attacks can escalate quickly for businesses. Cybersecurity and fraud prevention teams must collaborate closely.

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Matteo Bogana, CEO & Co-Founder at Cleafy, an online fraud prevention platform that has raised $12 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Origins of Cleafy: Matteo was inspired to start Cleafy after being told that solving certain cybersecurity problems was scientifically impossible. Their breakthrough in real-time content verification on web pages sparked the company's inception. Early Challenges: The initial years for Cleafy were tough due to the premature market for their technology. Matteo and his team struggled to gain the first customer, working hard to create market conditions favorable for their product. Customer Traction: Gaining the trust of early customers was difficult, especially as a new entity competing against established companies. Building credibility took significant effort through meetings and consensus building. Customer Base Evolution: Today, Cleafy targets mid to large financial institutions with structured fraud management teams, indicating a shift from startups to more established entities. Differing Approaches to Startups and Corporates: The messaging for startups, particularly fintechs, differs as they typically understand and value integrated cybersecurity and fraud management solutions more quickly than traditional banks. Marketing Philosophy: Cleafy's marketing strategy involves creating trust through knowledge sharing, leveraging their Clifi Labs to provide insights and threat intelligence directly to potential customers and at high-profile security events.

Fraudology is presented by Sardine. Learn more about how their one platform covers you for fraud, compliance, and payments.Too often, fraud-fighters feel undervalued, underappreciated, and misunderstood. When trying to communicate the importance & impact of the fraud team, and trying to convey a sense of urgency to leadership, there are often assumptions made that just aren't true. Or productive. On today's episode of Fraudology, join host Karisse Hendrick as she welcomes back John Matas, former Global Director of Risk & Fraud for Etsy and Corporate Principal for Fraud & Profit Protection at Macy's, a now currently the founder & principal consultant of BlackLight Security.

Last week we were reminded of this when a pop star's attendance at an American football game prompted a popular athletic brand to sell out of the style of shoes she wore to the game. And, sales of the jersey with her suspected boyfriend's name & jersey number shot up over 400% sales from the week before. In this solo episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick explains what these pop culture moments have to do with Fraudology as she delves into the fascinating world of international reselling and its impact on online fraud.

Fraudology is presented by Spec. Apply here to join us on September 27th, for an anonymous, merchant only group date demo.In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick delves into the world of cybersecurity, the evolving tactics of hackers, and why it's important for online fraud professionals to pay attention to data breach news & trends. Because online fraud is often the preferred method of monetizing from cyber attacks, it's important to understand the supply chain of information that could be available to cybercriminals soon. In light of the recent security breach at MGM (at least all US locations) & Caesar's Entertainment in Las Vegas, Karisse shares some of the research she's done to better understand what happened, and how a similar attack can be prevented. From the vulnerabilities & threats of social engineering to entering through the 3rd party system used for account & identity verification & sign-on flow, to ultimately encrypting all data in their Active Directory. -These steps are relatively simple for some groups, so it's imperative that fraud & cyber teams work together to "patch" vulnerabilities within their org. Also discussed: Ways to use these headlines as a catalyst to communicate threats to leadership and suggest social engineering training & enhanced verification processes. Should the data being held captive be released, the types of fraud vectors different companies should expect, and how to look at the types of data exposed via data breaches to determine which fraud methods your company or financial institutions may rely on.

Fraudology is presented by Spec. Check out their no-code platform you can implement to start fighting fraud today!In this solo episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick responds to a recent article written on LinkedIn about the interview episode with Nate Kharrl, CEO of Spec titled "Breaking News: Fraudsters Exploiting 3rd Party Fraud Tools". Karisse always welcomes healthy discussion and new opportunities to learn. -Especially if they're presented in good faith, and accurate. While responding to the article, Karisse starts the episode with a bit of a refresher course on several aspects of the original topic. Including: some of the methods used by fraudsters to exploit some 3rd party fraud tools, the symptoms of these kinds of attacks, the gaps these are caused by on the client & vendor side, and ways to decrease your exposure to exploits.It's true that fraudsters testing thresholds to see what they can get away with is nothing new. But, what IS new (and scary for those impacted!) are the high tech ways this is now occurring AT scale; often without visibility to track their activity. Karisse also delves into some of the vulnerabilities of network consortiums, the importance of reliable data sources, and the risks & limitations of relying solely on device information and/or behavioral data (via Java Script + API) for risk evaluation. She also explains two of the methods most commonly used by bad actors to quickly identify which 3rd party fraud/risk providers that each website relies on. Karisse wraps up the episode with a few suggested questions to ask your 3rd party fraud and/or bot detection provider if you've recently seen declines in their accuracy; along with a few strategies, process changes, and alternative or supplemental technology options for those companies that don't have the luxury to simply replace their current core fraud solution. Bottom line: Fraud & bot detection technology MUST continually innovate since cybercriminals are continually searching for work arounds. Solution providers need to make innovation a part of their on-going business plan as inevitably, some of the methods & technology frequently used to detect bot attempts, risky transactions and/or accounts, won't work as well as they once did. Note: For those solution providers that have been receiving calls or emails from your clients, asking some of the questions that are suggested, it's important to not respond in a defensive way or to place blame elsewhere. And to instead, focus on ways that Special thanks to Frank McKenna for taking the time to thoroughly research this topic, and for writing a thoughtful & informative article on the topic.

Fraudology is presented by Spec. Join us at MRC in Las Vegas and mention code word FRAUDOLOGY at booth 306 for your secret Spec swag.In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick continues the conversation (started on episode 169) by Matt Vega, Head of Fraud Strategy and Sidharth Shah, Sr. Product Manager, both at Novo.co, a fintech that provides financial products to start-ups & SMBs. In this episode, Matt & Sid share their experiences with data-driven vendor selection, the challenges of tech integration, and the critical importance of balancing fraud prevention and customer experience in the fintech space. They also delve into cutting-edge technologies to ensure a positive & frictionless customer experience, by utilizing behavioral biometrics and more insights into the overall customer journey, rather than only taking a snapshot of a customer's actions at the time an action is concluded (at log-in, account creation, "check out", time of transfer, etc.) By having the full picture of the actions a user takes across their platform, they are able to provide a seamless experience to the vast majority of their users; small business customers who need access to their funds quickly. They also introduce the concept of "trip wires" & "land mines" in different areas across their platform triggered by risky, anomalous actions to stop bad actors.Sid also introduces the importance of customer empathy in successful fraud prevention; and the impact this focus can have not only on ensuring less friction but also on building customer trust & loyalty to your brand. Overall, they stress the need to view people as people, not just customers, and how the right amount of friction can actually make users feel safer.*If you're intrigued by this innovative approach to fraud strategy, we recommend contacting the team at Spec for a demo!

Brett Johnson committed tax fraud and credit card fraud from a desk inside the FBI offices for almost a year before going on a cross-country crime spree, stealing $600,000 in four months, making the US Most Wanted list, going to Disney World, getting sent to prison AND THEN ESCAPING!

Fraudology is presented by Spec.Last week, Karisse talked about 2 major data breaches that she speculated could lead to an increase in specific fraud method attempts. The next day, she read a LinkedIn post challenging the opinion that data breaches lead to more online fraud. And this caused her to challenge her long-held belief in today's episode of Fraudology.Throughout this episode, you'll hear facts, data, and anecdotes from different perspectives to try to determine (once & for all?) if some or most online fraud is due to a data breach at some time. Or, is all of the information about every single consumer at the ready of cybercriminals when they want it?Also discussed: An update from last week's episode on the news of 100s of millions of Twitter account details exposed, as now they have been publicly circulated, with more risks than online fraud/identity theft alone.https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-leak-200-million-user-email-addresses/Report cited on data beach data from SpyCloud 2022:https://spycloud.com/resource/2022-annual-identity-exposure-report/ (FYI- email address, name & company name required to download)Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

Fraudology is presented by Spec.There's no doubt that 2022 was a pivotal year in online fraud. Whether it was in online banking, fintechs, or e-commerce/marketplaces, we saw more attacks and more sophistication & exploitations than ever before. So what fraud-related threats & issues should we be prepared to encounter in 2023? Karisse asked 2 legends within the anti-fraud space, Frank McKenna and Mary Ann Miller* to join her to discuss a recent article the 3 of them collaborated on for Frank's blog: Frank on Fraud. The article provides their top 10 predictions for online fraud in 2023, based on years of experience studying cause & effect within the fraud landscape, as well as their combined listening to hundreds of fraud-fighters in multiple areas of fraud prevention. While they all hope that NONE of these predictions come true, the truth is, it's better to prepare for a storm than be surprised by one. Consider this article your weather report for 2023. Many fraud-fighters have already reported sharing the article with their teams, as well as some of their leadership to prepare them for future conversations about budget, resources, and industry-wide challenges.In this episode, these 3 experts in online fraud detection & prevention discuss the last year of fraud, and a few of the 2023 predictions they think are most critical for the industry to be aware of.

Fraudology is presented by Spec.In the last ~2 weeks, there have been headlines about 3 data breaches/"security incidents" that are worse than we could have imagined.Just some of the headlines from these 3 incidents:"400M Twitter users' data is reportedly on sale in the black market""LastPass finally admits: Those crooks who got in? They did steal your password vaults, after all…""Okta confirms another breach after hackers steal source code"With the news that millions more names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, passwords, and other valuable PII were exposed via massive data breaches recently, this is sure to have a massive impact on your customers. And as a result, on your business.In this episode, Karisse goes through some of the details of each incident, the specific PII that has been exposed, and just how bad this is for any business with user log-ins; from Banks to Crypto to online commerce. Because of this, and additional current threats to online fraud, it is clear that collectively, the anti-fraud world needs to "up their game".The tools & processes we've relied on for years will be rendered useless on their own if those systems rely solely on verifying that the information at the time of a user log-in or check-out matches a legitimate user. And, especially after the recent disclosures by LastPass, we have to make that assumption, and react accordingly.https://cointelegraph.com/news/400m-twitter-users-data-is-reportedly-on-sale-in-the-black-markethttps://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2022/12/23/lastpass-finally-admits-they-did-steal-your-password-vaults-after-all/https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/22/okta-breach-source-code-github/Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.
