Global Travel Platform Protects Loyalty Points and Stops Account Takeover
One of the world's largest online travel platforms faced massive account takeover attacks, with fraudsters using bots to steal customer loyalty points through credential stuffing at scale, threatening customer acquisition and retention.
THE CHALLENGES
Loyalty Program Exploitation: Fraudsters deployed bots to compromise user accounts and steal accrued loyalty points for resale on third-party platforms, or for personal use to book services like hotels and airfare, undermining the loyalty program that provides a differentiator in the competitive travel space.
Legacy Solution Failure: The previous fraud prevention vendor failed to effectively stop attacks, allowing credential stuffing to persist and compromise program integrity.
Customer Experience Degradation: Attacks severely hindered experience for legitimate users, resulting in high complaint volumes to call centers and brand reputation damage.
THE ARKOSE TITAN SOLUTION
Login Flow Protection: Deployed Arkose Titan platform on all login flows to monitor traffic for suspicious behavior and stop malicious actors attempting credential stuffing.
Multi-Signal Risk Analysis: Monitored traffic using behavioral fingerprints, velocity and rate monitoring, proprietary user IP database and device/network/location intelligence to identify abuse patterns.
Dynamic Enforcement Challenges: Served known malicious bot traffic with 3D visual puzzles generated in real time and designed against machine vision technology, making them unsolvable by bots.
24/7 SOC Support: Provided continuous monitoring and custom response to attack spikes, working directly with the platform's security team.
