ABOUT THE DISCUSSION

Though the industry knew it was coming, the sharp migration of fraud from in-store to online channels with the growing adoption of EMV is still enough to keep any online merchant up at night.

The data show that since the October 2015 EMV liability shift, United States fraud attacks have jumped by 11 percent. From Q1 2015 to Q4 2015, the fraud attack rate on United States merchant websites skyrocketed from nine attacks per 1,000 transactions to 27 attacks per 1,000 transactions — a 215-percent increase.

Not only is online fraud threat growing, but also it’s hitting merchants right where it hurts by putting a greater risk on digital transactions. According to Forter, as of Q4 2015 nearly $4.79 out of every $100 of sales globally are at risk for online fraud attacks. That’s a 150-percent hike compared to Q1 2015.

EMV isn’t going anywhere – so what’s an eCommerce merchant to do?

– Digital goods retailers have been hit hardest — the industry has seen a more than 300 percent increase in fraud attacks since the liability shift.
