Prevent fraud with VPN

When you use a VPN, your internet connection is routed through the VPN server’s private network, making it more difficult for hackers to intercept data on your device. Hackers looking for private information like credit card details, account logins or other sensitive info will only receive a stream of numbers and letters that they can’t decipher.

Identity Prevent fraud with VPN, proxy, and TOR detection use stolen personal information to open new accounts, steal money, file taxes or commit other types of fraud. It’s a growing problem that requires businesses to monitor online behavior closely and take preventative measures.

Many people use VPNs for legitimate reasons, such as bypassing regional streaming restrictions or avoiding man-in-the-middle attacks on public Wi-Fi. But fraudsters also exploit the technology, using VPNs and proxies to mask their true location, identity and intent. That makes it crucial for businesses to detect VPN usage and spot anomalies as part of their fraud prevention systems.

How fraudsters use VPNs to commit click and ad fraud

For fraudsters, VPN services make it easy to manipulate their device and connection data to create fraudulent engagement. For example, they can use VPNs and proxies to change the user-agent strings of their browsers to mimic different devices and locations. This helps them avoid detection by risk-detection systems that rely on user-agent patterns.

SEON’s fraud prevention platform uses advanced VPN detection to help businesses identify users who try to hide their connection details. Our software uses a combination of device fingerprinting and network analysis to uncover anomalies in real time, delivering critical insights into the risks of obfuscation.
