AspDotNetStorefront Partners with MaxMind to add Online Fraud Protection Screening for E-commerce Transactions

Scottsdale, AZ and Boston, MA, June 26, 2006  AspDotNetStorefront.com, a leading Asp.net e-commerce shopping cart platform used by nearly 3000 online merchants and Asp.net developers, and MaxMind, a leading provider of IP geolocation and fraud detection solutions, today announced a partnership aimed at helping customers reduce fraud levels in e-commerce site transactions. The partnership illustrates MaxMind and AspDotNetStorefront’s continued commitment to improving the safety and security of online shopping.

As part of the agreement, AspDotNetStorefront has integrated MaxMind's fraud detection solution into its ML version platform to complement and enhance AspDotNetStorefront's existing fraud screening controls such as Verified by Visa and SecureCode by MasterCard. MaxMind's fraud detection solution can be applied to screen credit card transactions not covered by 3-D Secure as well as PayPal transactions.

"With the problem of online e-commerce fraud on the rise, we are continually looking for tools that can help our customers fight online fraud, maximize profitability, and protect consumers," says Robert Brainard, CEO of AspDotNetStorefront. "MaxMind's solution, which focuses on IP authentication and collaborative network protection, complements existing solutions already offered to our customers in the AspDotNetStorefront platform."

"The integration of MaxMind's minFraud service demonstrates AspDotNetStorefront's dedication to providing easy access to industry leading security and fraud prevention tools," says Ed Lin, business development manager at MaxMind. "By adding support for our minFraud service, AspDotNetStorefront's clients can easily access our service and the minFraud network without additional programming or customization. Through turnkey settings in the storefront, customers can easily add this additional level of fraud screening and detection to their storefronts."
