+{{< release-note date="2025-11-28" title="Subdivision, city, and postal fields blanked in additional countries">}}
+
+Effective Monday, December 1, 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: 
+
+- Belgium
+- Israel
+- Italy
+- The Netherlands
+- Portugal
+- Sweden
+- Ukraine
+
+We will also be blanking out city and postal fields more often for cell networks in: 
+- Canada
+- United States
+
+This change is to reduce false positives when the end users of a network are dispersed all over the country. Many of the networks affected by this change are cell networks, which are often allocated across a wide area spanning one or more subdivisions.
+
+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

 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.
