  • Publication number: 20160125522
    Abstract: Systems and methods of automatic lockout of an online account are discussed. One example method can comprise identifying out of pattern login behavior on the account. The out of pattern behavior can include one or more interactions wherein at least one of an IP address, a device identification, or a location associated with the one or more interactions that does not match past interactions. The method can also include determining that fraud/unauthorized money movement has occurred in the account, and automatically logging into the customer account with incorrect credentials a sufficient number of times to trigger a lockout from the account. Additionally, the method can include receiving, at a financial institution associated with the account, at least one form of authentication from a customer associated with the account to verify an identity of the customer, and directing the customer to change login credentials on the account.
