The Double-Edged Sword of Counterfeit Education: Why Scanning is the Future
In the ongoing battle against counterfeits, many brands have turned to educating their customers on how to spot fake products. While well-intentioned, this approach comes with a significant risk: the very information meant to protect consumers can also be used by counterfeiters to improve their fakes.
Brands often share detailed information about their products' unique features, such as special stitching patterns, hologram placements, serial number formats, and packaging details. While this knowledge can help consumers identify authentic items, it also provides a roadmap for counterfeiters to create more convincing fakes. As a result, the cat-and-mouse game continues, with brands constantly updating their authentication methods and counterfeiters racing to catch up.
