Combatting rogue payment terminal fraud

What is rogue payment terminal fraud?

Rogue payment terminal fraud occurs when criminals tamper with or install unauthorized ATM or POS terminals to steal card data, process fraudulent transactions or reroute funds. These devices are configured to skim or shim card data, intercept communications using rogue Wi-Fi or eavesdropping techniques, or deploy malware to approve or redirect bad transactions to fraudulent accounts. By blending fraudulent activity into normal traffic, rogue terminals often bypass traditional fraud defenses – leaving organizations exposed to losses, chargebacks and reputational damage.

Identify rogue terminals before damage is done

INETCO BullzAI is your first line of defense against rogue payment terminal fraud because it sees what is happening at the front end of the payment environment. Isolate suspicious terminal activity and intercept fraudulent transaction activity in milliseconds with continuous transaction monitoring, ingested whitelists and AI-driven entity behavior analysis that adapts after every transaction, shutting down rogue payment terminals before fraudsters can compromise your business.

DETECT

Continuously monitor and decode every in-flight payment transaction, alerting to terminal IDs that are not whitelisted, changes in device fingerprints and IP-location consistency, and suspicious activity such as spikes from a previously low activity device or unusual logins, amounts and transaction activity timings

PREVENT

Build individualized, machine learning models to understand the behavior of every terminal and every shift in device characteristics such as OS version, browser type or installed software — scoring anomalous activity such as unusual refund or reversal loops, abnormal transaction sequences or sudden spikes in volume and cash-out activity tied to a single POS or ATM terminal

SHIELD

Instantly block or rate limit a single rogue terminal at the front end of your payment environment before they compromise transactions or steal customer data — without adding latency

Don’t let one compromised terminal cost you millions
