The ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report: Q3 2017 is based on actual cybercrime attacks from July – September 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 51% 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.
