Effective tomorrow, Thursday, December 18, 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:

  • Amman, Jordan
  • Budapest, Hungary
  • Reykjavik, Iceland
  • All cities in Austria
  • All cities in South Africa
  • All cities in Vietnam

We will also be blanking out city and postal fields more often for cell networks in:

  • India
  • Mexico
  • United States

This change is to reduce false positives when the end users of a network are dispersed all over the country.

The update will be reflected in the following products and services:

  • GeoIP City database
  • GeoIP Enterprise database
  • GeoIP City Plus web service
  • GeoIP Insights web service
  • minFraud Factors web service
  • minFraud Insights web service
