Summary

Fingerprint has expanded its Smart Signals feature to enhance its ability to detect fraudulent activities in mobile applications and improve data intelligence for its users. The update includes six new Smart Signals that focus on mobile identification, user behavior, and bot detection, applicable to both iOS and Android platforms. Key features include cloned app detection for Android, factory reset detection for both iOS and Android, and jailbroken device detection for iOS. The Frida detection feature identifies tampering with apps, while privacy-focused settings signal the use of privacy-centric browsers like Tor. Additionally, virtual machine detection helps identify requests from automated traffic sources or individuals using virtual machines, which are often employed in fraud schemes. These enhancements are designed to provide Fingerprint users with more effective tools to combat mobile fraud, available to those with Fingerprint Pro Plus plans and above.
