  • Patent number: 11388193
    Abstract: Described systems and methods enable a swift and efficient detection of fraudulent Internet domains, i.e., domains used to host or distribute fraudulent electronic documents such as fraudulent webpages and electronic messages. Some embodiments use a reverse IP analysis to select a set of fraud candidates from among a set of domains hosted at the same IP address as a known fraudulent domain. The candidate set is further filtered according to domain registration data. Online content hosted at each filtered candidate domain is further analyzed to identify truly fraudulent domains. A security module may then prevent users from accessing a content of such domains.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022

  • Patent number: 8813239
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an online fraud prevention system combines the output of several distinct fraud filters, to produce an aggregate score indicative of the likelihood that a surveyed target document (e.g. webpage, email) is fraudulent. Newly implemented fraud filters can be incorporated and ageing fraud filters can be phased out without the need to recalculate individual scores or to renormalize the aggregate fraud score. Every time the output of an individual filter is calculated, the aggregate score is updated in a manner which ensures the aggregate score remains within predetermined bounds defined by a minimum allowable score and a maximum allowable score (e.g., 0 to 100).
