IPQS can quickly determine if a user's registration data matches any of these categories. Combined with accurate bot detection and advanced reputation checks, even the most sophisticated malicious behavior activity can be accurately detected without false-positives for legitimate users.

New Account Fraud Detection

Account creation fraud is on the rise as fraudsters develop improved software and techniques that make it easier to launch an advanced account origination attack. Fraudsters work towards the goal of being able to create fake accounts that mimic natural human behavior, and even use stolen or fake identities purchased on the dark web for new account fraud. IPQS automatically learns from attack vectors on popular websites to consistently improve our new account fraud prevention technology.

One of the most important factors in determining the best account origination fraud detection solution, is to assess how many new customers which are legitimate will be blocked due to false-positives. IPQualityScore's risk scoring algorithms are carefully tuned to avoid blocking legitimate users so only true fraud is blocked during registration. Part of our secret to achieving this is our short reputation lookback window, as we realize IP addresses and email addresses are frequently compromised but should not remain blacklisted for long periods of time.
