  • Patent number: 11599886
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for integration with a wearable device for impetus resource distribution process confirmation and authentication. In this way, the invention coordinates with a wearable device and resource distribution vehicles of a user. Upon activation of a resource distribution vehicle, the system reviews metrics from the wearable device to identify discrepancies between the real-time metrics and a baseline for the user. The invention triggers tiered confirmation requests for authentication prior to allowing processing of the resource distribution for impetus distribution prevention.

  • Publication number: 20220398315
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a network security device comprises a memory operable to store testing options for testing malware behavior and a processor operably coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to intercept probes sent by a malware application and to test a set of test responses, each test response corresponds to a respective one of the testing options that comprises information that the probe seeks to obtain. For each test response, the test determines a test result indicating whether the test response resulted in stopping detonation of the malware application. Information indicating the test result and the test response that yielded the test result is input into a machine learning model configured to determine a malware defense profile based on the test information and to output the malware defense profile.

  • Publication number: 20220385648
    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.

  • Patent number: 11513178
    Abstract: The invention relates to an MRI apparatus and a method of MRI involving the acquisition of a first and a second MRI image with mutually different orientations between the BO magnetic field and the object to be investigated. For instance, when imaging structures such as a tendon, due to the magic angle effect, this results in a change in image contrast. According to the invention, a coregistration can be performed between the first and the second MRI image. Moreover, the orientation of a structure within the object can be determined on the basis of the different orientations and the image intensity in the first and the second MRI image. The invention further discloses an apparatus for carrying out the method and a method of shimming the BO magnetic field of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220337624
    Abstract: A system for preventing communications from detected phishing domains receives a communication associated with a particular domain. The system determines that the particular domain is a phishing domain. In response, in one embodiment, the system registers the particular domain in a Domain Name System (DNS) server to block the communication and future communications associated with the particular domain from being received at computing devices operably coupled with the DNS server. In another embodiment, the system registers the particular domain in the DNS server, such that the communication and future communications associated with the particular domain are re-routed to a particular server to monitor phishing activities implemented on the communications, where the phishing activities comprise attempting to obtain login credentials and private information associated with receivers of the communication and future communications.

  • Publication number: 20220337623
    Abstract: A system for phishing domain detection receives a communication associated with a particular domain. The system extracts a first set of features from the communication, the first set of features including a name of the sender, a name of the domain, a time of receipt, a sentiment message, and attachment file associated with the communication. The system compares the first set of features with a second set of features associated with a historical communication labeled with a phishing domain. In response to determining that the first set of features corresponds to the second set of features, the system determines that the particular domain is the phishing domain.
