  • Patent number: 11580561
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for detecting security breaches using watchdog transaction accounts. A security agent can initiate a purchase with a first electronic commerce system and provide a watchdog transaction account as payment for the purchase. The security agent can then store a record of the purchase which includes a merchant identifier for the merchant and the watchdog transaction account. Subsequently, a transaction authorization system can determine that authorization for a transaction with second electronic commerce system failed. If the transaction authorization system determines that the account used in the transaction with the second electronic commerce system, then the transaction authorization system can determine that the first electronic commerce system has suffered a security breach.

  • Patent number: 11544229
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for tracking the flow of data through a network environment. A monitor can detect that a data transaction event has occurred. Then, the monitor can identify data involved in the data transaction event. Next, a trace identifier can be assigned to the data involved in the data transaction event. Subsequently, a transaction data subset representing a subset of the data involved in the data transaction event that is subject to a common data processing event can be identified. Then, a span identifier can be assigned to the transaction data subset. Next, a correlation identifier can be link to a combination of the span identifier and the trace identifier. Finally, a transaction event record can be written to a distributed ledger, the transaction event record comprising the span identifier and the transaction data subset.

  • Publication number: 20220391593
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying data of interest are disclosed. The system may retrieve unstructured data from an internet data source via an alert system or RSS feed. The system may input the unstructured data into various models and scoring systems to determine whether the data is of interest. The models and scoring systems may be executed in order or in parallel. For example, the system may input the unstructured data into a Naive Bayes machine learning model, a long short-term memory (LSTM) machine learning model, a named entity recognition (NER) model, a semantic role labeling (SRL) model, a sentiment scoring algorithm, and/or a gradient boosted regression tree (GBRT) machine learning model. Based on determining that the unstructured data is of interest, a data alert may be generated and transmitted for manual review or as part of an automated decisioning process.

  • Patent number: 11488146
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for closing pre-authorization amounts on a virtual token account. In one example, among others, a computing device is configured to generate a virtual token that is associated with a parent transaction account. An authorization request is received for a virtual token transaction, which is associated with the virtual token. A transaction request amount is compared to a virtual token balance of the virtual token. The authorization request for the virtual token transaction is authorized based on the comparison between the transaction request amount and the virtual token balance. The computing device determines not to expire the virtual token based on a comparison between the settlement variance and the virtual token balance. The settlement variance is adjusted based on the virtual token balance being within a threshold of the settlement variance.

  • Publication number: 20220301000
    Abstract: A system and method provide rewards or loyalty incentives to card member customers. The system includes an enrolled card member customer database, an enrolled merchant database, a participating merchant offer database and a registered card processor. The registered card processor receives a record for charge for a purchase made with an enrolled merchant by an enrolled card member customer and uses the record of charge to determine whether the purchase qualifies for a rebate credit in accordance with a discount offer from the enrolled merchant. If the purchase qualifies for a rebate credit, the registered card processor provides the rebate credit to an account of the enrolled card member customer. The system provides a coupon-less way for merchants to provide incentive discounts to enrolled customers.
