Fraud events ​

Fraud event — an occurrence that is suspected or confirmed to be fraudulent.

FIB peers can submit data related to these fraud events—contributions—to help identify and prevent future fraudulent activities. By sharing information and collaborating with other participants in the network, contributors can help create a more secure and trustworthy ecosystem that is resistant to fraud and other types of malicious activities.
