Year over year % of fraud pressure growth by month

Fraud pressure is a measure of very high risk – and presumably fraudulent – orders over time and across the Electronics & Computers industry. The measure highlights the level of fraudulent activity exerted on merchants.

Year over year % of consumer abuse growth by month

Consumer abuse charts the rise and fall of policy abuse by legitimate cardholders by examining the percentage of chargebacks fought by Signifyd and successfully won over time. This data assumes winnable chargebacks are highly likely to be true consumer abuse.

With big surges comes operational gaps. Expect challenges from these fraud pressure vectors:

eBay marketplace “triangulation” fraud

The fraudster creates genuine seller profile on marketplaces and uses stolen card data to fulfill the order from another retailer. Attack vector moved to popular SKUs over the summer.

Touchless delivery abuse risk

As FedEx and UPS moved to no-signature delivery, retailers saw an uptick of Item-Not-Recieved (INR) and Significantly-Not-As-Described (SNAD) claims.

Curbside pickup BOPIS mule fraud

Many retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Best Buy have accelerated BOPIS (touchless curbside pickup) to counter store closures. They also saw an uptick in mule fraud.
