cool project. You might have notice, but there's a non-trivial amount of fraud on shopify (fake shops, info stealers, etc). Might be interesting to look at that

- smcin 3y agoWhat are the telltales, for spotting those? And how aggressively does Shopify verify/police them?
- pencildiver 3y agoI've definitely noticed that already. Any advice on how to spot that? Another challenge is that there are products sold on the original site and third-party marketplaces, both of which could sell on Shopify. So need to find a way to automatically detect the type of store.
- asdadsdad 3y agoyou might check this for inspiration (https://seguranca-informatica.pt/shopping-trap-the-online-stores-scam-that-hits-users-worldwide/#.Y0ywfezMJmr https://seguranca-informatica.pt/shopping-trap-the-online-st...). I used to have a huge IOC collection, but now stopped tracking them. things like HTML markup, pricing patterns, IPs might inform on specific clusters of fraudsters. I don't think Shopify cares tbh
- pencildiver 3y agoSuper helpful, thank you.
