Factory resets are commonly used to troubleshoot significant software issues, remove malware, improve device performance, or prepare a device for sale by erasing personal data and restoring original settings. While generally performed for legitimate reasons, repeated or recent resets can also indicate suspicious or fraudulent activity, as they enable anonymity and the potential for exploiting various platforms' sign-up bonuses or evading detection. Identifying patterns of such resets can help in developing security and fraud detection processes. Tools like Fingerprint's Device Intelligence Platform provide insights into the last reset date, which, when combined with other signals, can enhance security measures to detect potentially malicious behavior.
