A detailed summary about blocking the IP
| Blocked Status | This shows whether the user was successfully blocked. A status of "Yes" indicates that the system's rules were triggered, and the user's activity was stopped. |
| Control Time | This is the exact timestamp when the user was first detected and blocked. It marks the moment the system took action. |
| Total Fraud Attempts | This shows how many times the user triggered the fraud rules. In this example, the number "8" indicates that the user has repeatedly engaged in fraudulent behavior. This is a strong indicator of persistent malicious intent rather than a one-time error. |
These details provide solid evidence that a user not only violated a single rule but was also actively trying to hide their location and continued their fraudulent activity over time. This demonstrates the system's effectiveness in detecting and blocking fraudulent traffic.
| Type of Fraud | Specifies the type of fraud detected. |
| USINGPROXY | Indicates that the user is using a proxy or VPN to hide their true location. This is a common tactic among click fraudsters. |
| OVERTHRESHOLD | Indicates that the user has exceeded a predefined limit (e.g., too many clicks in a certain period of time). |
| Rule | Describes the specific rule that was triggered (e.g., "Geographic Fraud: Proxy, Hosting" or "Exceeded Limit Rule |
| Detected on | This is a chronological list that shows the time each fraud rule was triggered. The list reveals the user's repeated fraudulent attempts on different days. |
