  • Patent number: 11947692
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for dynamic formjacking protection may include identifying a sensitive data input field element on a webform loaded in a browser, creating a secure isolated container overlaid on the identified sensitive data input field element, and collecting, via the secure isolated container, real input data intended for the sensitive data input field element. The method may also include inserting dummy data into the sensitive data input field element and intercepting a form submit request from the webform to a destination. The method may further include determining whether the destination is a trusted destination, and when the destination is determined to be the trusted destination, modifying the form submit request to allow the real input data to be sent to the trusted destination.

  • Patent number: 11936664
    Abstract: Embodiments detect identity attacks by comparing usage of compromised passphrases or other weak credentials in failed sign-in attempts to access restriction conditions. A restriction threshold amount of weak credential failed sign-ins (WCFSI) or a WCFSI increase indicates an identity attack, such as a password spray attack. Going beyond the mere number of failed sign-ins by also considering credential strength allows embodiments to detect attacks sooner than other approaches. An embodiment may also initiate or impose defenses by locking accounts, blocking IP addresses, or requiring additional authentication before access to an account is allowed. Weak credentials may include short passwords, simple passwords, compromised passwords, or wrong usernames, for instance. Password strength testing may be used for attack detection in addition to preventive use on passwords proposed by authorized users. Familiar and unfamiliar traffic source locations may be tracked, as sets or individually.

  • Patent number: 11914721
    Abstract: A blockchain smart contract rewriting framework system has a vulnerability detection tool, a rewriter tool, and a deployment component. The deployment component obtains a permission to upgrade the smart contract, which granted by a smart contract creator/owner. The contract rewriting framework system retrieves the smart contract from the blockchain network, and passes it to the vulnerability detection tool. The vulnerability detection tool detects a vulnerability in the smart contract, and determines a type of the vulnerability and an instruction location of the vulnerability. The rewriter tool rewrites the smart contract to include a patch for fixing the vulnerability, a patched smart contract being generated by the rewriter tool based on the type of the vulnerability and the instruction location of the vulnerability.

  • Patent number: 11882112
    Abstract: A system for communicating email messages using tokens receives a request to send an email message to a receiver. The email message is associated with a sender's email address. The system determines whether the sender's email address is associated with a token from a plurality of tokens stored in a token-email address mapping table. The system generates a particular token for the sender's email address in response to determining that the sender's email address is not associated with a token, where the particular token uniquely identifies the sender's email address. The system sends the email message using the particular token instead of the sender's email address, such that the sender's email address remains anonymous from the perspective of the receiver.
