Claim: browser privacy rules reduce tracking but also blunt fraud detection, so Risk.Ident pivots to more constrained signals and server-side heuristics. Walkthroughs show a live device fingerprinting demo (JavaScript page + dashboard) that successfully collects user agent, canvas, GPU, reload counts and VPN flags; stack: Scala / Play Framework, Basra SQL and Tableau. Fraud tools named: anti‑detect browsers (Undetect, Multilogin), VPNs and bot farms. Surprising figures cited: ~600 Facebook accounts compromised per day (2017) and ~23% of cloud accounts abused for fraud; GDPR raises operational costs.
