In this month’s Digital Trust & Safety Roundup, we highlight the most recent ATO data from Sift’s Q3 Index report, explore the latest product integrations and capability enhancements, and share Sift’s recent industry and customer recognition. Read on for the latest news fraud findings from Sift.

Account takeovers skyrocket 

Nearly one in five consumers recently surveyed by Sift have experienced account takeover (ATO) attacks, with 62% of those taking place in the past year. The prevalence of these types of attacks is supported by Sift’s latest Q3 Digital Trust & Safety Index findings which reveal a staggering 354% year-over-year increase in ATO in Q2 2023 across Sift’s global network.

While AI has been a hot topic in the fraud prevention industry, it’s automation that’s still driving the speed and scale of many of these attacks, with the sale of bots that provide ‘ATO-as-a-Service’ for purchase on the deep web. 

“Fraud becomes as sophisticated as the technology being used to commit it,” says Rebecca Alter, Trust and Safety Architect at Sift, “and increasingly innovative types of automation pose a threat to merchants that aren’t ready to match its speed or account for its accessibility.”
