  • Patent number: 9798879
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method is disclosed for protecting against key logger malware. The protection includes protection form grabbing keylogger malware. In response to detecting a form submission event from a browser associated with a user entering data into a form, confidential data is cleared to prevent it being captured by malware. Additional protection of data inputs, entered at a driver level, may be provided as an additional level of protection against hook based malware operating at a virtual keyboard level or operating system level. Data inputs received at a physical driver level may be protected as they pass through a virtual keyboard level and an operating system level. The projection against malware may be provided as a preventive measure that does not require detection of the key logger malware itself.

  • Patent number: 9596250
    Abstract: A software, system and methodology for protecting against malware Point-of-Sale attacks that utilize, for example, memory scraping techniques. The application protects Point-of-sale hardware and its software against memory scraping malware attacks, and the loss of critical user credit card and confidential information often swiped at a terminal or stored in point of sale application databases. An embodiment of a method for blocking memory scraping attacks includes the following steps. Upon detecting a credit card swipe submission event from local hardware or comport event specific memory table events are flagged as unreadable, and immediately after allowing the data to be properly submitted, the system memory tables are cleared of data and specific memory processes are flagged as readable again. The method prevents memory scraping or point of sale malware from capturing swiped credit card data or input data, thereby protecting the user from theft of credit card data or other credentials.

  • Publication number: 20130061323
    Abstract: A software, system and methodology for protecting against malware key logger attacks that utilize, for example, form-grabbing techniques. The application protects the browser from key logging malware attacks, and the loss of critical user confidential information often entered into internet forms for the purpose of buying items or logging into financial institutions. An embodiment of a method for blocking form-grabbing attacks includes the following steps. Upon detecting a form submission event from the browser, and immediately after allowing the data to be properly submitted, the form input fields are cleared of data. The method prevents hook-based key loggers or form-grabbing key loggers from capturing form input data, thereby protecting the user from theft of passwords or credentials.
