You don't want to deal with bad bots. You don't want them to stifle your growth, and you certainly don't want malicious bots on your platform. You're probably wondering how you can keep them at bay.
Advertising on platforms all over the internet has become a great technique to expand an audience and enhance engagement. That engagement leads to more clicks, leads, and purchases but only when it is generated by actual individuals rather than malevolent bot activity.
The IP address might reveal a lot about the individual. Bots, for example, will often avoid using residential IP addresses in favour of data centres and hosting services such as Amazon and Digital Ocean. It is extremely simple to implement real-time blocking of proxies, VPNs, and TOR addresses using an IP Reputation API. In these categories, high-risk IP addresses would suggest a bot or fraudulent activity.
If you are only interested in clients in the United States, you can easily limit submissions to IP addresses in your accepted regions. Furthermore, you can exclude specific regions, like if you are receiving a lot of form spam from Russia, China, Brazil, India, and so on.
Prevent bots from joining or submitting forms by using the IPQS email address validation API, which can instantly identify if the email submitted is authentic, has a working inbox, or has any recent aggressive history across the IPQS threat network.
The algorithms can swiftly recognise new addresses that are participating in abusive activity because we track hundreds of millions of email accounts per day from logins, payments, and registrations. Bot submissions will almost always use invalid email addresses. IPQS boosts those figures even further by using reputation scoring, allowing fraudulent email addresses to be blacklisted in real-time.
Taking this security a step further, IPQS can validate phone numbers to assess risk and detect whether they are VOIP or digital lines commonly used for nefarious activity. This API service can also identify phone numbers with an aggressive history, like those that have submitted false forms in the past. While not all forms collect phone numbers, they can be quite valuable for qualifying users.
Text input forms that ask users to provide feedback or specifics can be extremely helpful in recognising bots. Most bot spam will not respond in these fields, instead filling them with garbage. This check will almost probably be bypassed by advanced bots and fraudsters, but it is an excellent approach to screen out less sophisticated abuse.
By tracking devices as they change IP addresses and browsers, you can protect HTML forms. Because most bots come from the same device, restricting your system to only accept one submission per device ID can help you swiftly eliminate fraud. They may imitate hundreds or thousands of different devices by using device spoofing. Device fingerprinting protects against even the most skilled fraudsters and can be used on desktop and mobile devices.
