2017 Q1 Cybercrime Report
By ThreatMetrix
The ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report: Q1 2017 is based on actual cybercrime attacks from January – March 2017 that were detected by the ThreatMetrix Digital Identity Network (The Network) during real-time analysis and interdiction of fraudulent online payments, logins and new account applications. The Network provides visibility and insight into traffic patterns and emerging threats. The Network analyzes close to two billion transactions per month, over 45% of which originate from mobile devices. These transactions are analyzed for legitimacy based on hundreds of attributes, including device identification, geolocation, previous history and behavioral analytics. The Network and its real-time policy engine provide unique insight into users’ digital identities, even as they move between applications, devices, and networks. ThreatMetrix customers benefit from a global view of risks, based on these attributes and rules that are custom-tuned specifically for their businesses. Attacks discussed are from “high-risk” transactions scored by ThreatMetrix customers.
