Mobility services like Uber, Grab, and FREE NOW (Lyft) rely on real-time data to power seamless trips, deliveries, and payments. But this real-time nature also opens the door to sophisticated fraud schemes—ranging from GPS spoofing to payment abuse and fake accounts.

By using Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, leading mobility platforms now detect and block fraud as it happens, protecting their revenue, users, and trust. This blog explores how real-time data streaming is transforming fraud prevention across the mobility industry.
