Spring EQ and Boost

Dive into a large-scale account takeover (ATO) attack where loosely coordinated fraudsters use low-touch logins to validate credentials and harvest data across 100+ accounts. Learn how unstructured fraud rings achieve rapid scale, why behavior is the hardest signal to fake, and how multidimensional analysis exposes hidden connections to stop attacks early.

Economic uncertainty remains elevated amid geopolitical instability, but the U.S. economy continues to show resilience. Explore Experian's latest base-case forecast and what it could mean for businesses planning ahead.

• GDP growth projected at 2.0% in 2026 and 2.1% in 2027
• Inflation expected to rise to 3.5% in 2026 before easing to 2.1% in 2027
• Unemployment forecast to hold steady at 4.4% through 2027

See how a single attacker leveraged fraud ring tactics to compromise over 50 accounts in under 30 days—and how to detect and stop solo account takeover attacks at scale.

Key insights:

• Lone fraudsters can replicate fraud ring tactics using playbooks, tools and stolen credentials
• A single device can target dozens of accounts rapidly with consistent, repeatable actions
• Behavioral, device and location signals help distinguish imposters from legitimate users
• Stopping high-risk devices early prevents attacks from scaling across multiple accounts

Consumers have powered the U.S. economy through repeated shocks, but new pressures are testing their resilience. As energy prices rise and economic conditions shift, the outlook is becoming more uncertain.

• Labor market strength is weakening
• Income and wage growth are slowing
• High equity exposure increases risk
