IPQualityScore LLC

IPQualityScore (IPQS) is a fraud detection and cybersecurity company that provides enterprise-grade risk analysis and threat intelligence. Their services focus on scoring the risk associated with users and transactions by analyzing IP addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and device data to identify malicious behavior in real-time. Primary customers include businesses across various industries, such as e-commerce, ad tech, and cybersecurity, who use the service to prevent chargebacks, account takeovers, fake account creation, and click fraud. IPQS gathers data from a proprietary threat intelligence network, which includes over 100,000 honeypots that identify high-risk online behavior. While primarily a B2B service, the collection and analysis of personal data points like IP addresses, emails, and phone numbers to create risk profiles pose privacy concerns. This data, if accessed by malicious actors, could be used for targeted fraud or harassment. Individuals can protect themselves by limiting the personal information they share online and by contacting IPQS to request access to or deletion of their personal data.
