What Are minFraud Alerts And What Do I Do With Them?

We recently released a number of updates to our minFraud alerts functionality, and we’d like to take the opportunity to explain how minFraud service customers can benefit from alerts. Recognizing fraud attacks in real-time The minFraud service is a real-time risk scoring API that adapts its scoring based on the stream of transactions (and transaction feedback) submitted by thousands of businesses world-wide. In some cases, transactions we initially scored as low-risk are later found to be high-risk due to new and emerging risk signals, which come from either your own transaction stream or the minFraud network at-large. We built minFraud alerts to sound the alarm for these kinds of transactions.
