Amazon and HUMAN target AI-scaled MFA supply

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Amazon Ads detailed how it works with HUMAN to identify and block made-for-advertising networks by using site, traffic, supply chain, infrastructure, and operator signals, rather than relying solely on page-level quality. Amazon says its agentic scanning system filtered more than 10 trillion bid requests that failed verification standards in 2025, while HUMAN observed a fourfold rise in requests from one investigated network during the first half of 2026.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means MFA detection is moving toward network-level threat intelligence, so ask supply partners what is blocked pre-bid and how those controls appear in reporting.
