What is TrustPath? (Currently in Alpha)

TrustPath is an advanced fraud detection system designed to help identify and mitigate potentially fraudulent activities by analyzing critical user data such as IP addresses and email addresses. By leveraging behavioral analysis and sophisticated algorithms, the system generates risk scores and actionable insights that empower end-user solutions to make informed decisions in real time.

Whether you're looking to enhance security during user registration, safeguard transactions, or implement advanced geographic restrictions, TrustPath offers a seamless and effective way to protect your platform against fraud.

Key Use Cases​

TrustPath provides a powerful REST API that integrates effortlessly into your existing solutions. Here are some key use cases:

1. Account Farming & Fake Accounts​

Fraudsters and bad actors frequently create fake accounts in bulk—a tactic known as account farming—to exploit promotions, manipulate platforms, and conduct fraudulent activities. These fake accounts can be used for:

  • Abusing sign-up bonuses (e.g., referral programs, free trials)
  • Bot-driven fake engagement (e.g., spamming, review manipulation)
  • Payment fraud & chargebacks
  • Credential stuffing & account takeovers

Traditional detection methods often fail against sophisticated fraud rings that use residential proxies, device spoofing, and AI-generated identities to bypass security measures.

2. Account Takeover Prevention​

Account Takeover (ATO) fraud occurs when cybercriminals gain unauthorized access to legitimate user accounts. Attackers often exploit stolen credentials, brute-force attacks, and phishing tactics to take control of user accounts and commit fraud. Once inside, they can:

  • Make unauthorized transactions or withdrawals
  • Steal sensitive user data
  • Exploit stored payment methods
  • Resell compromised accounts on the dark web

With the rise of credential stuffing, password reuse, and advanced attack methods, businesses need proactive defense mechanisms beyond traditional security measures.

3. Content Moderation​

Content moderation is crucial for maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment on online platforms. Without effective moderation, harmful or inappropriate content such as hate speech, explicit material, and misleading information can quickly spread. This leads to:

  • User safety risks, including harassment or abuse
  • Violation of community guidelines, damaging platform reputation
  • Legal and regulatory issues
  • Brand trust issues

Traditional moderation methods struggle with the volume and complexity of user-generated content, especially when it comes to detecting subtle or sophisticated harmful content like manipulated images or fake news.

4. Purchase Fraud Prevention​

Purchase fraud occurs when bad actors use stolen credit cards, fake identities, or compromised accounts to make unauthorized transactions. These fraudulent purchases can lead to chargebacks, financial losses, and reputational damage. Fraudsters often use tactics such as:

  • Stolen payment details from data breaches or phishing attacks
  • Rapid, high-volume transactions to exploit stolen cards before detection
  • Location mismatches between billing, shipping, and IP geolocation
  • Account takeovers to make unauthorized purchases using legitimate accounts

Traditional fraud prevention tools often struggle to distinguish between legitimate users and sophisticated fraudsters using device spoofing, and automated scripts.
