[MaxMind]

Effective tomorrow, Wednesday, November 19, 2025, we will be blanking out the subdivision, city, and postal fields more often in the following cities and countries. This change will result in fewer resolutions in:

• Bangkok, Thailand
• Istanbul, Turkey
• All cities in Argentina
• All cities in France
• All cities in Germany
• All cities in Ireland
• All cities in Poland
• All cities in South Korea
• All cities in Switzerland
• All cities in Taiwan
• All cities in the United Kingdom
• All cities in Uruguay

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
