State of the economy report - June 2024

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
