Total transactions: $41M Blocked fraudulent: $4.8M So that’s nearly 12% of the transactions suspected fraudulent - that’s nuts

There's a lot of online fraud. We invest a ton in Radar, our payment surfaces, etc., to keep this as invisible as possible to businesses. (We don't always succeed, of course. But, despite the growing sophistication of the fraudsters themselves, we do generally get better every year.)

There's a lot of fraud. Period.

I assumed stripe founders had offline business experience before stripe :) Online maybe increase it a little more and make it more risky to the business because of "card not present". But hardly new to online.

There's also a lot of false positives if you verify too much on data brokers, as you just mentioned you do, instead of talking to the issuing institution on fears of chargeback and rate hikes.

Out of curiosity do you share the suspected fraud with law enforcement? At that amount there are probably too many to chase down so I’d think this is just an unprosecuted crime?

This reliably kills Firefox on Linux here. The whole browser. After a few seconds, during which the laptop fans are spinnung up, all tabs go into a "This tab just crashed" state.

Same with Google Chrome stable on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)

EDIT: Works well on Google Chrome stable on Windows 11 tho

No issue with FF 119.0.1 on macOS/arm.

I find it pretty funny when designers have it in their mandate to make a number look as cool as possible. You see it on dashboards or all kinds of things like this. I think it would be a good design challenge. Make a decimal number look cool. No other constraints.

See, that’s a real problem with modern day design: it’s all about making things look cool instead of just no-bullshit functional.
