Patent number: 12229774Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting malware by monitoring client-side memory stacks are described. A request for a payment process is received and a client-side memory stack is populated with a series of functions corresponding to the requested payment process. The execution of each function is monitored to determine whether the series of functions and an order of execution of the functions from the client-side memory stack are the same as an expected series of functions and in an expected order corresponding to the payment process. The monitoring also determines whether the number and types of parameters called by the functions are the same as the expected number and types of parameters. The monitoring further determines whether the timing of the execution of the functions is the same as an expected timing. Remedial action is performed when the any of these factors is determined to be different than what is expected.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Shlomi Boutnaru

Patent number: 12223041Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for automated adjustment of security alert components in networked computing systems. An entity, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize threat detection within a security information and event management system. The threat detection may implement one or more processes to tune security alerts automatically, which can be done prior to deployment. A security alert may be broken into modular components, which may be run progressively, in increasing sampling numbers, against a set of computing logs to identify hits. The hits are compared to an expected proportion for each modular component to determine whether the modular component is providing proper results. Further, threat detection may utilize a system to obtain justifications for potentially malicious behavior to eliminate false positives. This may be done automatically when detecting suspicious activities.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: George Chen Kaidi
