Fraud is changing fast. Can merchants keep up?
E-commerce fraud has always been a moving target. But now, it’s evolving faster than many merchants can respond.
Today’s threats go far beyond stolen card details. Fraud can happen at checkout, after purchase, through customer accounts, and even inside business operations. Tactics are becoming more sophisticated, more convincing and harder to detect, especially as AI gives fraudsters new tools to scale attacks.
The cost is not just financial loss. Fraud can affect customer trust, chargeback rates, operational efficiency and long-term growth.
