Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Card-Not-Present Fraud: The Merchant Empire Strikes Back" report to their offering.

The author's most recent research report, Card-Not-Present Fraud: The Merchant Empire Strikes Back, examines the current state of CNP fraud in the U.S. market and frames the market landscape for both online merchants and the fraud solution vendors that serve them.

E-commerce merchants in the United States now find themselves in a perfect storm of rapid online sales growth and the continuing EMV chip card transition. The convergence of these two trends has left merchants vulnerable to card-not-present (CNP) fraud. Cyberthieves are proving quite adept at using both technology and stolen payment card data to attain their ill-gotten gains. The well-documented breaches of payment card data at major retailers such as Target and Home Depot in the past few years have provided a treasure trove of millions of cardholder records that are being used by criminals to commit CNP fraud.

Despite anticipating that fraudsters would transition to online attacks once counterfeit card fraud at the point of sale was reduced through the EMV chip, U.S. payment card networks and issuers, payment providers, merchants, and cardholders are now asking: What can we do about the increase in CNP fraud? In response, an industry of technology developers providing solutions to combat CNP fraud has emerged to give online merchants the means to strike back. This research report delves into the current state of CNP fraud and where e-commerce merchants should go from here.
