Fraud Prevention in Ecommerce Report 2021/2022

The Fraud Prevention in Ecommerce Report 2021/2022 is the ultimate source of knowledge that delves into the evolutionary trail of the payments fraud ecosystem, revealing the most effective security methods for businesses to win the battle against bad actors.

Looking at the current reality in the digital space, we can see that businesses need to find a way to go back down to the fraud rates level before COVID-19. For this reason, we invited notable experts – industry associations, top players, consultants, and merchants – to share their opinions on the changing face of old types of fraud, suggesting us any reliable strategy to overcome top threats such as account takeover, merchant-initiated fraud, BOPIS fraud, real-time payments fraud, identity fraud, and many more.

In seven comprehensive chapters, we are aiming to keep our readers informed regarding the exact cost and damage of fraud, the known and hybrid types of fraud, why the economics of cybercrime are always in favour of fraudsters when it comes to launching attacks, and how the pandemic created more vulnerabilities in different industries. We are also outlining a few tactics to stay ahead of fraudsters without losing customers or revenue, navigating through prevention strategies and adaptable detection models involving AI, behavioural biometrics, ML technologies, and reliable authentication tools in the PSD2/SCA era.

This year, our report highlights the following key topics:

Morgan, Merchant Risk Council, Neira Jones, Nethone, Ravelin, SAS Institute, Sift, Sontiq, Signifyd, and Wave Financial discuss which global fraud trends are emerging in the ecommerce industry and how businesses can overcome their challenges.

How the fraud ecosystem looks

To better understand fraudsters’ motives, we asked Scott Augenbaum, Dispute Defence Consulting, Payment Operations Group, and ScamAdviser to analyse the impact left by the perpetual nature of fraud, as well as the ugly state of being a victim.

Identity fraud is still an issue, even when PSD2/SCA knocks on our door

CMSPI, ID Crowd, FBI and Global Data Consortium, Frozen Pii, Netcetera, Payment Systems Regulator, Tenet Compliance & Litigation, and Worldline debate that identity fraud is no longer a siloed issue practised only in one particular industry, and explain why improved KYC efficiency and staying compliant without increasing consumer friction are crucial for ecommerce businesses.
