Understanding Device Fingerprinting
Anyone who accesses the web needs to do it with an Internet connection and device. There is a ton of data associated with the configuration of software and hardware you use.
In fraud prevention, the more information you have about a user, the better. The goal of device fingerprinting is therefore to extract as much information as possible from a connection, without slowing down the user journey.
Detecting Suspicious Behaviour
Fraudsters attack websites for a number of reasons, but the techniques always follow the same method. They can’t just try multiple passwords from the same device, otherwise, their IP gets blacklisted.
