Fraudhunt

Fraudhunt is a fraud prevention service that rates each website visitor and picks out bots and abusive users. It targets problems such as fake sign-ups, account takeovers, stolen content and wasted advertising spend.

What Fraudhunt offers

• Visitor scoring — assigns a fraud score based on a set of triggers.
• Device fingerprinting — builds a lasting identifier for each device, so repeat offenders can be recognised even if they change disguise.
• Masking detection — spots proxies, VPNs, emulators and changed user agents.
• API access — returns anything from a bare score to full visitor data for server-side decisions.
• Google Analytics link — sends identifiers there so traffic can be compared against fraud reports.

Who it works with

Ad networks, e-commerce projects and online communities that want to keep genuine customers and block malicious traffic.
