SMS Pumping Fraud Protection
Malicious actors can use your application's SMS verification step to send thousands of fraudulent verification messages to premium-rate phone numbers they control. SMS pumping can lead to substantial financial losses for your business.
Stop bots and suspicious browsers from requesting verification codes. Link every verification text message to a browser fingerprint and limit the number of verification requests from a single browser.
