Stealing, hijacking, and counterfeiting aren’t social. Stop social networking scams while protecting legitimate members.
Fraudsters and scammers target online dating, gaming, social networking and virtual goods sites with stolen credit cards and hijacked credentials. Social websites have to defend users from fraudsters and stolen credentials, as well as criminals testing stolen credit cards.
Advanced Device Identification
Use TrustDefender™ ID to find people hiding behind assumed identities. TrustDefender ID is able to spot true IP addresses and geo-location as well as hidden proxies. Using TrustDefender ID, social networking sites can:
- Prevent criminals from opening fraudulent accounts to gain trust of unsuspecting members
