Not Every Email or IP Is What It Seems
A new account signs up with a free email provider. The IP shows activity from a familiar region. On the surface, it looks legitimate.
But what if that email domain was created yesterday? What if the IP is routed through a high-risk proxy?
Fraudsters manipulate domain and IP data to blend in, using disposable emails, masked IPs, and location spoofing to evade detection. Without deeper analytics, these bad actors slip through security filters unnoticed until it’s too late.
AtData’s Domain & IP Analytics feature helps you uncover these hidden risks in real time, flagging suspicious domains, proxy IPs, and bot-driven activity before fraud can take hold.
Fraudsters Count on Blind Spots in Domain and IP Data
-
They Create Disposable Email Addresses
Fraudsters use temporary or auto-generated email domains to create fake accounts, test stolen credit cards, and commit promo abuse.
How AtData Helps: Our domain risk scoring flags suspicious and newly created domains, stopping fraudsters before they gain access.
-
They Hide Behind Proxy and VPN IPs
Masked IPs help fraudsters appear like legitimate users from trusted locations, making it harder to track their true origins.
How AtData Helps: Our IP intelligence detects anonymized traffic sources, helping you identify users disguising their real locations.
-
They Manipulate Geolocation to Evade Detection
Fraud rings use IP spoofing to bypass security checks, appearing as local customers while operating globally.
How AtData Helps: Our geolocation insights reveal discrepancies between IP location, email domain, and user behavior, catching fraud before it escalates.

Don’t Ignore Domain and IP Risk
Fraudsters don’t just steal money, they steal time, trust, and resources. When high-risk domains and masked IPs go undetected, the consequences go beyond a single transaction.
- Escalating Chargebacks: Fraudulent purchases lead to costly disputes, increasing fees and straining relationships with payment processors.
- Compromised Customer Data: Bad actors using disposable emails can infiltrate loyalty programs, siphoning off rewards and personal information.
- Distorted Analytics: Fake accounts skew user data, making it harder to measure real customer engagement and optimize marketing spend.
- Operational Drain: Security teams waste time chasing false leads instead of focusing on genuine threats.
AtData helps you catch fraud early, protect revenue, and keep your fraud teams focused where it matters most.
