  • Publication number: 20200401728
    Abstract: A compromised data exchange system extracts data from websites using a crawler, detects portions within the extracted data that resemble personally identifying information (PII) data based on PII data patterns using a risk assessment module, and compares a detected portion to data within a database of disassociated compromised PII data to determine a match using the risk assessment module. A risk score may be assigned to a data item within the database in response to determining the match. In some embodiments, URL data may also be detected in the extracted data. The detected URL data represents further web sites that can be automatically crawled by the system to detect further PII data.

  • Publication number: 20200356997
    Abstract: In response to a request for risk assessment of a person-to-person (P2P) payment transaction, a risk assessment system returns a payer risk score, a payee risk score and a joint/fusion risk score. Risk scores are based on large amounts of data (including transaction data) provided by multiple financial institutions. The data is sorted and linked to individual people (e.g., common account holders), and assembled by a profile system into payee, payer and joint profiles for purposes of risk evaluation. A database associated with a profile system separately stores the profiles (and associated risk scores). Risk scores (payer, payee and joint) are provided for a transaction in response to a payer ID, a payee ID and transaction data.

  • Publication number: 20200259925
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing reciprocal data sharing in a data exchange system. Limitations may be placed on the amount of data an exchange member may access based on the amount of data that exchange member has contributed. The system may include determining a data contribution associated with a first member of the data exchange, determining a data access limit for the first member based on the data contribution, and providing data to the first member when the first member has not exceeded the data access limit. In some embodiments, there may be separate data access limits for each member of the data exchange, so that a first member may have different access limits when accessing data from a second member, data from a third member, and data from a fourth member. Further, the system may limit a requester to a type of data that corresponds to the type of data contributed.

  • Publication number: 20200210988
    Abstract: The security of a transaction conducted at a mobile device, using a one-time password to authenticate the mobile device user, is enhanced by requiring that the mobile device also be authenticated by providing a valid mobile device ID. A security server that provides the one-time password to the mobile device also provides a hyperlink that, when selected, causes a mobile device ID, such as an IMSI, to be retrieved from a SIM in the mobile device The retrieved mobile device ID is then sent to the security server. A database associated with the security server stores valid mobile device IDs, and compares the retrieved mobile device ID from the mobile device to the valid mobile device ID for that mobile device stored in the database. In alternative embodiments, the mobile device is authenticated without the use of a one-time password.
