It expresses the views and opinions of the author. As agentic commerce experiences explosive growth and autonomous AI agents become increasingly sophisticated, enterprises need advanced tools to protect against evolving fraud schemes without delaying innovation or turning away legitimate transactions. Bots currently comprise over half of all internet traffic, with 30% classified as malicious, and Gartner predicts fully autonomous AI agents by 2036. This creates a critical challenge for businesses to differentiate between beneficial automation and malicious activity. Fingerprint's new Smart Signals address this challenge by providing real-time risk indicators based on a device's behavior, environment and configuration to enable enterprises to make better-informed decisions. "Bots and AI agents represent both the biggest current risk and the fastest-evolving threat landscape we've seen," said Dan Pinto, CEO and co-founderof Fingerprint. "As agentic AI technology advances rapidly and becomes more cost-effective, malicious actors are increasingly leveraging these tools for sophisticated fraud. Fingerprint's new Smart Signals ensures enterprises can harness the benefits of AI while maintaining robust defenses against malicious bots and agents that threaten essential business operations." Fingerprint Smart Signals and Features for Enterprises: Bot/AI Agent Detection • • • Bot Detection Smart Signal • can detect dozens of bot detection and browser automation software tools. It performs intelligent • classification on each API request to determine whether a bot or agent is legitimate or malicious, with only verified beneficial bots and agents classified as trustworthy. • • • • Virtual Machine Detection Smart Signal • further enhances AI agent and • bot • detection by identifying virtual machines, which are commonly used in automated fraud schemes. • This capability provides an additional layer of protection against sophisticated attack vectors. • • • • Residential Proxy Detection • addresses one of the most challenging aspects of modern fraud detection. • Residential • proxies are increasingly accessible and affordable, making them attractive tools for fraudsters • looking to mask their IP addresses. Because agentic traffic can be routed through ISPs to real residential IP addresses—giving malicious agents high authenticity—the ability to detect residential proxies with confidence levels is crucial for identifying all • types of agentic-driven fraud. • • • • Request Filtering: • Fingerprint has gathered a list of known user agents used by AI companies for web scraping and model training, as well as AI assistants that help with scheduling and other repetitive tasks. The Request Filtering functionality allows customers to filter out • these legitimate AI agents and bots from fingerprinting, helping optimize billing costs without compromising detection capabilities for AI-driven fraud. • The Rise of Intelligent Automation Demands Smarter Security for Enterprises As legitimate AI agents become more common for business operations—from AI assistants that handle scheduling and repetitive tasks to agentic commerce where agents research and purchase products on users' behalf—the ability to differentiate between beneficial and malicious automation has become a critical industry requirement. With these new enhancements from Fingerprint, organizations can gain comprehensive visibility into visitor intent, enabling proactive defense against evolving attack patterns. The new Smart Signals and features are available immediately and are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Fingerprint implementations.

What to do if you can't get into your Facebook or Instagram account
Your Facebook or Instagram account can be your link to friends, a profile for your work or a key to other services, so losing access can be very worrying. Here's what to do if the worst happens. If you have access to the phone number or email account associated with your Facebook or Instagram account, try to reset your password by clicking on the 'Forgot password?' link on the main Facebook or Instagram login screen. Follow the instructions in the email or text message you receive. If you no longer have access to the email account linked to your Facebook account, use a device with which you have previously logged into Facebook and go to Enter any email address or phone number you might have associated with your account, or find your username which is the string of characters after on your page. Click on 'No longer have access to these?', 'Forgotten account?' or 'Recover' and follow the instructions to prove your identity and reset your password. If your account was hacked, visit or on a device you have previously used to log in and follow the instructions. Visit the help with a hacked account page for Facebook or Instagram. Change the password to something strong, long and unique, such as a combination of random words or a memorable lyric or quote. Avoid simple or guessable combinations. Use a password manager to help you remember it and other important details. Turn on two-step verification in the 'password and security' section of the Accounts Centre. Use an authentication app or security key for this, not SMS codes. Save your recovery codes somewhere safe in case you lose access to your two-step authentication method. Turn on 'unrecognised login' alerts in the 'password and security' section of the Accounts Centre, which will alert you to any suspicious login activity. Remove any suspicious 'friends' from your account – these could be fake accounts or scammers. If you are eligible, turn on 'advanced protection for Facebook' in the 'password and security' section of the Accounts Centre.
