Fraudcache is an abuse intelligence platform that aggregates signals about malicious IP addresses from multiple sources including web application firewalls, honeypots, and community reports. We maintain scored reputation data for IP addresses involved in spam, web attacks, scanning, and botnet command-and-control activity.
All infrastructure is hosted within the European Union and operates under EU jurisdiction. We are fully GDPR compliant and subject to European data protection regulations.
