We analyzed 23 billion device identification events. Here's what we found.

The 2026 Fingerprint Device Intelligence Report provides insights into global device and browser characteristics by analyzing over 23 billion identification events across more than 7 billion browsers and devices. The report highlights that while desktop environments, particularly those using Chromium-based browsers, are the primary areas for fraud due to increased browser tampering and automation, mobile environments present fewer but more significant risk signals such as rooted devices and man-in-the-middle attacks. VPN usage has become commonplace, with significant increases noted in both desktop and mobile traffic, challenging traditional notions of suspicious activity. The report emphasizes the need for fraud teams to adapt their strategies to the evolving landscape, recognizing that the context of unusual signals is crucial for accurate threat assessment. It also notes that high-risk sessions with multiple uncommon signals are rare, making them easier to identify and respond to appropriately.
