Fake shops on the Internet are becoming more numerous and at the same time more difficult to detect. The Fake Shop Detector, developed by AIT in close cooperation with the Austrian Institute for Applied Telecommunications (ÖIAT) and the Austrian Internet specialist X-Net, provides support in detecting online fraudsters. The Fake Shop Detector uses artificial intelligence to check unknown online stores in real time for more than 21,000 characteristics. Above all, permanent quality control of the AI by humans is an inherent part of the AI-based solution. If a store is suspicious, the Detector warns and protects consumers preventively against online fraud. This success resulted in a new partnership between AIT and the Bavarian Ministry of Justice at the end of August to tailor the successful Fake Shop Detector to the specific requirements of law enforcement agencies and further develop it for their investigative work.
