Filters whose name includes ?Risk List? make use of lists that VeriSign maintains. VeriSign performs extensive statistical analysis of millions of e-commerce transactions to determine transaction data elements (for example BIN numbers or ZIP codes) that are statistically more likely than average to be correlated with fraudulent transactions.

Inclusion in a Risk List is not an absolute indication of fraud, only a statistical correlation that indicates that you should evaluate the transaction more closely (and in conjunction with other filter results for the transaction).
