New analysis of 4M+ transactions reveals email signals correlated with increased risk DEDHAM, Mass. , April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AtData, a leading innovator in email address intelligence, data security, and digital trust solutions, today released new findings revealing the most critical email fraud signals plaguing digital payments. Drawing from an analysis of more than 4 million transactions in its fraud detection network , AtData identified the top four indicators that correlate with elevated fraud risk: disposable emails, email account age, international proxies and IP anonymization, and domain reputation.
"Bad actors are exploiting every gap in digital payments systems," said Diarmuid Thoma , AtData's Head of Fraud and Data. "These findings reveal why static, rule-based fraud filters are not enough. Email data holds a wealth of behavioral and identity signals, and fraud strategies built on real-time, data-driven intelligence, especially at the email level, will help stay ahead of emerging threats and protect both platforms and customers.
" While many organizations rely on conventional detection methods, those systems often miss the nuanced signals embedded in email addresses. AtData's fraud detection network leverages advanced machine learning and real-time activity intelligence to uncover malicious behavior based on a single email. About AtData AtData is the leader in email address intelligence with the most accurate, comprehensive, and privacy compliant email-centric solutions.
