+
+We have added the [`ip_risk_snapshot`](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/docs/web-services/responses/#schema--response--traits__ip_risk_snapshot) to the traits object in our GeoIP Insights web service and our minFraud Insights and Factors web services. This field contains the risk associated with the IP address. The value ranges from 0.01 to 99. A higher score indicates a higher risk.
+
+The IP risk snapshot is not a replacement for the minFraud IP risk score (`ip_address/risk`). 
+
+The IP risk snapshot is based on an analysis of historical risk on the IP address, while the minFraud IP risk score is a responsive data field that generates an IP risk score in real time based on the transactions you send and activity from across the minFraud network. 
+
+minFraud customers may find the IP risk snapshot output useful to determine whether an IP address is risky based on historical activity versus a current, emerging issue. A lower `traits/ip_risk_snapshot` score combined with a higher minFraud `ip_address/risk` score would mean that the IP address is becoming risky in real time based on the traffic on your and other customers' networks. A high score in both `ip_risk_snapshot` and minFraud IP risk score would mean that the IP address has been risky for a longer time.
+
+We plan to update the client APIs soon to reflect this change.

 We have added an [`anonymizer` object](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/docs/web-services/responses/#anonymizer) to our web services. This object contains the anonymizer data previously found in the `traits` object together with new outputs.
