The results of ATO are apparent when it comes to users. It is usually a painful loss of personal data, money, credit charges, loss of trust in business, and stress. The aftermath for businesses can be very dramatic: chargebacks increase, huge chargeback fees, frequent transaction disputes, and a decrease in customer satisfaction, customer lifetime value, brand damage, and revenue loss. As of today, chargebacks for specific industries can be “life-changing”, especially for e-commerce. When the chargeback rates are over the limit, processing companies raise fees for each transaction, causing drastic revenue losses. Account takeovers in the FinTech industry can be a bad sign of money laundering activities that are restricted and can even lead to the loss of license.
If you ask what account takeover is used for, here is the answer:
- unauthorized transactions
- fraudulent orders
- bonus and loyalty points abuses
- credit card purchases and credential thefts
- account and data resell
- refund and chargeback claims
