  • Publication number: 20220086184
    Abstract: A method and system for tracking potentially fraudulent activities associated with one or more web sites is disclosed. The system includes a fraud tracking server connected to a fraud tracking database. The fraud tracking server includes a communications module to facilitate the exchange of data between the server and multiple client devices. The fraud tracking server receives data from one or more client devices that identifies a potential spoof site. The fraud tracking server also includes control logic to generate a spoof site tracking record in the fraud tracking database. The spoof site tracking record includes the data identifying the potential spoof site. After the spoof site tracking record has been created, the fraud tracking server notifies an administrator of the potential spoof site by communicating the data received and stored in the fraud tracking database to an administrator.

  • Patent number: 10891376
    Abstract: A method and system to verify active content at a server system include receiving, at the server system a communication (e.g., an e-mail message or e-commerce listing) that includes active content that is to be made accessible via the server system. At the server system, the active content is rendered to generate rendered active content. The rendered active content presents a representation of information and processes to which an end user will be subject. At the server system, the rendered active content is verified as not being malicious.

  • Patent number: 10657249
    Abstract: A system for identifying perpetrators of fraudulent activity includes location logic for locating, extracting, or capturing identifying information from a client communication received from a client device. For example, the location logic may locate, or extract, a variety of message headers from an HTTP client request. The system may also include analyzer logic to analyze the identifying information, for example, by comparing the identifying information with previously captured identifying information from a previously received client communication. Finally, the system may include account identifier logic to identify user accounts associated with the previous client communication in which the same identifying information was extracted.

  • Patent number: 10432657
    Abstract: A method and system for tracking potentially fraudulent activities associated with one or more web sites is disclosed. In an example embodiment, the system includes a server communicatively coupled to a database. The database stores first data identifying a first spoof site, and a first identifier for a first document from the first spoof site. The identifier is based on a first content of the first document. The server receives second data identifying candidate site, retrieves a second document from the candidate site, and generates a second identifier for the second document based on a second content of the second document. The server also compares the second identifier to the first identifier. In response to determining, based on the comparing of the second identifier the first identifier, that a source of the first document is the same as a source of the second document, the server identifies the candidate site as a second spoof site.

  • Patent number: 9635031
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein to identify fraudulent activity. In one embodiment, a method for identifying fraudulent activity includes receiving and extracting, at a server comprising at least one hardware-based processor and a memory coupled to the at least one hardware-based processor, header information from each of a plurality of client communications issued by one or more client devices. An account is identified that is associated with each of the plurality of client communications. Header information is analyzed from each of the plurality of client communications to identify variations between the header information from different ones of the client communications. In various embodiments, a determination is made as to whether there is a similarity of the client communications and at least one previous communications associated with the account. Other systems and methods are also disclosed.
