Subdivision, city, and postal fields blanked in additional countries
November 28, 2025Effective Monday, December 1, 2025, we will be blanking out the subdivision, city, and postal fields more often in the following countries. This change will result in fewer resolutions in:
- Belgium
- Israel
- Italy
- The Netherlands
- Portugal
- Sweden
- Ukraine
We will also be blanking out city and postal fields more often for cell networks in:
- Canada
- United States
This change is to reduce false positives when the end users of a network are dispersed all over the country. Many of the networks affected by this change are cell networks, which are often allocated across a wide area spanning one or more subdivisions.
The update will be reflected in the following products and services:
- minFraud Factors web service
- minFraud Insights web service
- GeoIP City database
- GeoIP Enterprise database
- GeoIP City Plus web service
