The Hidden Threat Behind Transaction Spikes

Viral fraud is the new frontier of digital crime—coordinated attacks shared across social media platforms that overwhelm businesses with a sudden surge of fraudulent activity. These attacks are fast, sophisticated, and often go undetected until it’s too late.

What Is Viral Fraud?

A viral fraud attack is a coordinated scheme where bad actors exploit company policies by flooding systems with thousands of seemingly legitimate applications—often using verified identities and varied contact information to evade detection.
