Optimizing E-comm Fraud in 2023: 3DS in the US is "In"? And, Negative Lists Are "Out"? w/ Doriel Abrahams @ Forter

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

If you enjoy listening to two passionate fraud-fighters "geeking out" about various fraud strategies...you will thoroughly enjoy this episode! Today, Karisse Hendrick speaks with Doriel Abrahams, Head of Risk for the US at Forter. Starting with how his passion for acting and linguistics/neuroscience prepared him for his accidental career in online fraud prevention.

Then, they discuss how online fraud has been changing rapidly over the last 18-24 months, and how it's more important than ever that all areas of a merchant's fraud strategy adapt to detect the latest methods, or they'll be left behind. Just as it's important to adapt internal operations & tactical prevention efforts, your core fraud provider should also be adapting & innovating at a similar pace as the malicious actors.

We saw this most with the "Master Manipulators" organized crime ring during the peak Holiday season of 2022 when the fraud strategies & technologies used by the majority of online retailers were put to the test during the busiest time of the year for online shopping. This rapid change in fraud tactics can also challenge using existing technology in the ways they've "always been used". Such as the "conventional wisdom" of the past surrounding topics like utilizing 3DS in the US, selectively using 3DS in the EU/APAC, advocating to Issuing banks to improve auth rates, and Karisse asks Doriel to explain why he doesn't believe in relying on negative lists.
