>Habit #2: Fraudsters Are Night Owls
Are they using local time? Or is there a chance that they are not accounting for the fact that most of the fraudsters are foreign and in a different time zone?

- wdewind 12y agoI believe they mean the SiftSciences customer's time, not the hacker's time. They are proposing that fraudsters tend to hit in the middle of the night based on where the target is hosted, not where they are.
- AnimalMuppet 12y agoIf the targets were US-based, this could fit with the "fraudsters are international" finding.
- necubi 12y agoAll times are local to the user (as inferred by IP geolocation).
