What is Third Party Fraud?
Third‑party fraud is when someone uses a victim’s identity or account to transact: stolen cards at the checkout, hijacked wallets, or synthetic account openings with real data. Signals alone whisper: new device, risky ASN, fresh shipping address. Together they shout.
Layers of defense: device intelligence, network reputation, behavior analytics, and—when money moves—evidence that ties a real person to the claim. That means document checks, selfie match, and liveness checks inside robust identity verification. Cap early‑life limits, hold first payouts, and keep artifacts for disputes. Good users glide; impostors stall.
