Global fraud facts and figures

Sift’s upgrades come in the backdrop of an implicit necessity for innovation, according to survey data from Sift themselves. Sift’s platform upgrades also come at a time when businesses are facing more fraud than ever before. In fact, Sift’s Q3 Digital Trust & Safety Index shows a 131% increase in account takeover attacks in the first half of 2022 vs. the same period in 2021.

The report highlights how no industry has been left untouched by account takeover (ATO) attacks, with an 131% increase across Sift’s global network in the first half of 2022, as opposed to the same period in 2021. However, fraudsters are looking to take advantage of dormant accounts and stored payment information. The industries with the biggest increase in ATO attack rates were fintech (71% increase), marketplaces (39% increase), and digital goods and services (37% increase). Within the fintech industry, cryptocurrency exchanges had a 79% increase in attack rates.
