  • Patent number: 11645389
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media related to fraud detection. Fraud detection is achieved using a flexible scripting language and syntax that simplifies the generation of fraud detection rules. The rules are structured as conditional IF-THEN statements that include data objects referred to as Anchors and Add-Ons. The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The retrieval of data from the various data sources is optimized based on data dependencies within the rules. By knowing the data dependencies of each rule and utilizing parallelization of rule execution, the retrievals of data from the data sources is achieved efficiently so the rules can be executed quickly.

The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The generated rules with distinct data paths are then converted using a transpiler from the scripting language into native language source code (e.g., PHP, Java, etc.) for deployment in a particular environment. The rules are then executed in real-time in the environment to detect potential fraudulent activity.

  • Patent number: 11388160
    Abstract: An account recommendation system that includes a server. The server is operable to identify a user account based on a server-side persistent device identification. The server includes a processor and a memory. The server is configured to receive a request including one or more attributes related to a client device, identify the server-side persistent device identification (“PDI”) record for the client device based on the one or more attributes of the client device, identify one or more candidate accounts based on the server-side persistent device identification, determine confidence scores for each of the one or more candidate accounts, generate a recommendation signal for the user account associated with the client device based on the confidence scores, and transmit the recommendation signal to a merchant server.

  • Patent number: 11329985
    Abstract: A fraud prevention system that includes a server. The server is operable to receive a first attribute of a client device from the client device and associated with a first transaction, receive a second attribute of the client device from the client device and associated with the first transaction, receive a third attribute related to the client device and associated with the first transaction, and generate a persistent device identification (“PDI”) record including the first attribute, the second attribute, and the third attribute, store the PDI record in a memory, receive the third attribute related to the client device and associated with a second transaction, and identify the client device using the PDI record based on the third attribute without receiving, in association with the second transaction, the first attribute of the client device and the second attribute of the client device.

  • Publication number: 20200280578
    Abstract: A fraud prevention system that includes a fraud prevention server including an electronic processor and a memory. The memory includes a feature drift hardened online application origination (OAO) service. When executing the feature drift hardened OAO service, the electronic processor is configured to detect, with respect to a first OAO model, feature drift in a dataset of an online application that exceeds a predefined threshold, generate one or more feature drift hardened OAO models that mitigate the feature drift, determine a fraud score of the online application based on the one or more feature drift hardened OAO models that differentiates between a behavior of a normal user and a behavior of a nefarious actor during a submission of the online application on a device and mitigates the feature drift, and control a client server to approve, hold, or deny the online application based on the fraud score.

  • Publication number: 20200279266
    Abstract: A fraud prevention system that includes a fraud prevention server including an electronic processor and a memory. The memory includes an online application origination (OAO) service. When executing the OAO service, the electronic processor is configured to determine whether the OAO service is enabled and whether a website configuration includes a list of multi-page placements for an online application, determine that input data needs to be stored in the memory and combined into multi-page input data, determine a fraud risk score of the online application based on the multi-page input data and an online application origination (OAO) model that differentiates between a behavior of a normal user and a behavior of a nefarious actor during a submission of the online application on a device, and control a client server to approve, hold, or deny the online application based on the fraud risk score that is determined.

  • Patent number: 10749884
    Abstract: Techniques for ascertaining legitimacy of communications received during a digital interaction with a client device. The techniques include: receiving a communication; identifying from the communication a first secured token; processing the first secured token by: obtaining, from the first secured token, information indicating a state of the digital interaction; and using the information indicating the state to determine whether the communication is from the client device; and when it is determined that the communication is from the client device, causing at least one action responsive to the communication to be performed; updating the information indicating the state of the digital interaction to obtain updated information indicating the state of the digital interaction; and providing a second secured token to the client device for use in a subsequent communication during the digital interaction, the second secured token comprising the updated information indicating the state of the digital interaction.
