  • Publication number: 20240147234
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of detecting user identity, differentiating between users of a computerized service, and detecting a cyber-attacker. A user utilizes a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a smartphone, a tablet, or other electronic device, to interact with a banking website or application, a retailer website or application, or other computerized service. Input-unit interactions are monitored, logged, and analyzed. Based on several types of analysis of the input-unit interactions, a score is generated to reflect fraud-relatedness or attack-relatedness of the input-unit interactions. Based on the score, the system estimates or determines whether the user is an attacker, and initiates attack-mitigation operations or fraud-mitigation operations.

  • Publication number: 20240080339
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of detecting a vishing attack, in which an attacker provides to a victim step-by-step over-the-phone instructions that command the victim to log-in to his bank account and to perform a dictated banking transaction. The system monitors transactions, online operations, user interactions, gestures performed via input units, speed and timing of data entry, and user engagement with User Interface elements. The system detects that the operations performed by the victim, follow a pre-defined playbook of a vishing attack.

  • Publication number: 20240013225
    Abstract: Method, device, and system of detecting a mule bank account, or a bank account used for terror funding or money laundering. A method includes: monitoring interactions of a user with a computing device during online access with a bank account; and based on the monitoring, determining that the bank account is utilized as a mule bank account to illegally receive and transfer money, or is used for money laundering or terror funding. The method takes into account one or more indicators, such as, utilization of a remote access channel, utilization of a virtual machine or a proxy server, unique behavior across multiple different accounts, temporal correlation among operations, detection of a set of operations that follow a pre-defined mule account playbook, detection of multiple incoming fund transfers from multiple countries that are followed by a single outgoing fund transfer to a different country, and other indicators.

  • Publication number: 20230368206
    Abstract: Computerized method for verification of user identity and transaction data authenticity, usable in systems having an electronic device that communicates with a remote server. The method includes: (a) receiving user interactions at a non-secure execution environment of the electronic device, reflecting transaction data entered by a user; and transmitting transaction data from the non-secure execution environment to the server; (b) locally authenticating the transaction data and user identity in a secure execution environment of the electronic device; and encrypting transaction data in that secure execution environment, by utilizing a Cryptographic Private Key of the electronic device as encryption key; and transmitting encrypted version of locally-authenticated transaction data from the electronic device to the server.

  • Patent number: 11736478
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of detecting user identity, authenticating a user to a computerized service or to an electronic device, differentiating between users of a computerized service, and detecting possible attackers or possible fraudulent transactions. A method includes: generating a user authentication session that requires a user to enter a secret by performing a task; monitoring the user interactions during task performance; extracting a user-specific behavioral characteristic, and utilizing it as a factor in user authentication. The task requires the user to perform on-screen operations via a touch-screen or touchpad or mouse or other input unit of the electronic device, or to move in space or tilt in space the entirety of the electronic device in a way that causes inputting of the secret data-item.

  • Publication number: 20230230085
    Abstract: A user interacts with a remote server via an end-user device, and enters transaction data. A user-facing camera of the end-user device captures a live video feed of the interacting user; which is displayed in real time on the screen of the end-user device while the user is filling-out fields and entering transaction data. The concurrent, real-time, video-feed display of the interacting user, near—or as a background layer behind—the fillable fields of the transaction data, deters at least some cyber-attacks or prevents fraud attempts. Optionally, the screen of the end-user device is also continuously shared, over a secure communication channel, via a locally-installed Screen Sharing Module, with a trusted remote server; which performs continuous biometric authentication of the user, and continuously verifies the integrity of user-provided transaction data against locally-collected data and user interactions.

  • Patent number: 11606353
    Abstract: System, device, and method of generating and utilizing one-time passwords. A method generates a particular One-Time Password (OTP) string that is based on pre-defined OTP string construction rules. The particular OTP string is not a purely-random string; rather, the particular non-purely-random OTP string provides to a behavioral monitoring unit a capability to extract user-specific behavioral typing patterns from a way in which a user types characters of the particular OTP via a keyboard of an electronic device. The method sends the particular OTP string to the user; monitors the way that the user types the OTP string; extracts from the user interactions, that were performed while the user entered the OTP string, a user-specific behavioral typing characteristic; and based on that user-specific characteristic, determines whether that user is authenticated or non-authenticated, and optionally activates fraud mitigation operations or transaction blocking operations if the user is non-authenticated.
