About

With more first-time customers amid surging online sales during the COVID-19 pandemic, fighting ecommerce fraud is harder than ever.

30% of traffic to ecommerce sites during the COVID-19 period is from first-time visitors, compared with 5-7% of first-time visitor traffic before the pandemic. Without the prior customer history, it’s harder for merchants to determine if the new shopper is legitimate or a criminal.

Plus, with increasing consumer data breaches, more consumer account information is available to criminals, causing account take-over fraud to rise. In the first six months of 2020, criminals made 1.18% of fraudulent log-in attacks with the correct log-in credentials.

And the impact of not having the right fraud tools in place can be devastating. In this report, both Brooks Running and ChristmasCentral.com share how they each lost thousands of dollars in merchandise to fraud schemes.
