What is location spoofing?
Location spoofing is making online activity appear to come from a different location, which can be used to bypass access or offer restrictions.
How does ShieldLabs location spoofing detection help prevent fraud?
ShieldLabs detects location spoofing and returns named risk signals, identification risk assessments and account abuse detections. Help protect account access, location-sensitive offers and acquisition quality.
Is geolocation spoofing detection the same thing?
Geolocation spoofing and location spoofing describe attempts to misrepresent a location. This page focuses on the IP, country and timezone evidence available around identified web visits.
Does ShieldLabs require GPS permission?
The location evidence shown here comes from browser and network observations. The examples do not rely on collecting precise GPS coordinates.
Can an additional IP always be revealed?
No. Additional IP evidence is available when it is observed through the browser and network checks. Read the evidence returned for the visit rather than assuming every address is present.
How does this connect with impossible travel?
Location consistency describes evidence around a visit. Impossible travel is a separate high-risk event that examines locations, timestamps and device context across an account’s activity.
Where can geolocation spoofing detection help?
Use ShieldLabs around sensitive account access, location-based offers, geographic content restrictions and acquisition traffic. Ready-made location and account abuse detections help protect these workflows.
