IP Address Double Shuffle – MCP logs surge in NEW fraud

MCP Shield has noted a surge in examples of a novel type of fraud across 9 Geos (see image), where we are seeing IP-shifting in a single transaction.

  1. A transaction is initiated from a Digital Ocean Datacentre (pretending to be on a proper ‘gateway’).
  2. The events then triggered for this transaction come from a different IP, for example, a Linode
  3. The transaction then ends back from the original Digital Ocean Datacentre

This is quite elegant stuff – and we are seeing this now in over 9 Geos
