Why IPQualityScore is the Leader in IP Fraud Detection & Risk Scoring IPQualityScore (IPQS) is recognized as the industry leader in IP fraud detection because we go beyond simple geolocation and blacklist checks. Our algorithms are trained on billions of real-world data points collected from our own proprietary network of honeypots, fraud traps, and abuse sensors , deployed across high-traffic web and mobile environments worldwide. This intelligence allows us to detect threats before they appear in public blocklists — meaning you can block bad actors faster, prevent chargebacks, and maintain a safe user base. Global Honeypot Network for Real-Time IP Fraud Detection Unlike providers that rely solely on third-party feeds, IPQS maintains a global network of fraud detection honeypots and deception traps in over 150 countries. These sensors continuously monitor: Fake accounts, account creation fraud, and ATO attacks Botnet and automated attack traffic Proxies, VPNs, and anonymizing services Stolen credential use and brute force attempts High-volume spam and phishing campaigns By harvesting live malicious traffic data, our system builds risk profiles in real time , delivering accurate IP risk scores that adapt instantly to emerging threats. Protect your business from fraud, abuse, and malicious traffic with the most accurate IP fraud scoring tool Instantly detect high-risk users, bots, proxies, and VPNs with IPQualityScore's real-time IP Risk Score API & checker. Create a Free Account Query Real-Time IP Lookup Data IP lookup data can be queried via our IP geolocation API service or by using our JavaScript analysis tags to detect bad sources of traffic, bots, risky transactions, and malicious users. Batch Reports Advanced IP fraud scores detect sophisticated abuse to mitigate high risk behavior. Process batch reports by uploading a CSV file through the IPQS user dashboard. Anonymous Proxy Detection API Our anonymous IP detection API with example code is available to get IPQS proxy detection deployed on your site in just minutes.

Our cyber traps & sensors quickly identify newly compromised devices that are active within botnets, proxy networks, TOR exit nodes, or VPN services. This data is then paired with live forensic checks that identify residential proxy connections, scalable abuse software, emulators, and similar high risk behavior signals. High risk IP addresses will always score at 90 or higher, when our system determines high confidence in identifying a malicious IP address. Our in-depth IP risk scoring check includes the following categories: Behavioral Signals - User interaction patterns, request velocity, and automation markers s Network Reputation - ASN, ISP, and subnet analysis for prior abuse Anonymizer Detection - VPN, proxy, and Tor fingerprinting Geolocation Integrity - Checking for spoofed or impossible travel patternsStolen credential use and brute force attempts Historical Abuse - IP fraud history from our trap network and partner intelligence feedsHigh-volume spam and phishing campaigns The result is an IP fraud score from 0-100, with transparent and actionable metrics that can be used to immediately protect against digital abuse. Adaptive IP Risk Scoring for Evolving Fraud & Cyber Threats Fraudsters are constantly evolving — so is our IP intelligence scoring engine. IPQS risk models are retrained daily , incorporating intelligence from global partners and payment processors, newly compromised IP addresses through malware or adware, and identifying new connections within residential proxy networks. This adaptive approach ensures your fraud detection stays one step ahead. IPQS provides powerful digital ...
