The 2023 Threat Landscape: A Report on Trends in Illicit Ecommerce Activity

Data for this report was generated from several sources, including guidelines from card schemes, research from EverC’s team of industry experts, deep investigations from its threat detection team, and the company’s proprietary database, which contains over 7 billion web entities and 108 billion entity connections culled from ongoing monitoring of the internet.

This report identifies several trends, including an alarming increase in fraud in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the previous year. One of the most notable increases was seen in transaction laundering, a sophisticated methodology used by illicit actors to hide ill-gotten gains and fund bigger crimes.

The trends in this report are consistent with the inception of a unified threat landscape populated by bad actors that are fast, persistent, and frighteningly collaborative. Understanding key trends can empower key players in the payments industry with the ability to protect against and neutralize these threats.
