Case Study: StubHub prevents content scraping and account takeover, restoring accurate conversion rates with Distil Networks

StubHub Prevents Content Scraping, Account Takeover, and Skewed Conversion Rates using Distil Networks

StubHub, an eBay company and one of the world’s largest ticket marketplaces, was being targeted by bad bots that scraped pricing and inventory, drove credential-stuffing account takeovers, doubled site traffic, caused downtime and skewed conversion analytics—undermining revenue, customer trust and competitive pricing.

By deploying Distil Networks’ advanced fingerprinting, behavioral analysis and machine‑learning defenses, StubHub proactively blocked sophisticated bots and credential‑stuffing attacks, preventing competitive scraping and account fraud. The solution blocked 99.9% of malicious traffic, cut bot-driven page views roughly 50%, reduced fraud and downtime, and restored accurate conversion metrics and pricing integrity.
