Publication number: 20240080339Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Oren Kedem, Avi Turgeman, Itai Novick, Alexander Basil Zaloum, Leonid Karabchevsky, Shira Mintz, Ron Uriel Maor

Publication number: 20240013225Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Itai Novick, Avi Turgeman

Patent number: 11323451Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of detecting whether an electronic device or computerized device or computer, is communicating with a computerized service or a trusted server directly and without an intermediary web-proxy, or indirectly by utilizing a proxy server or web-proxy. The system searches for particular characteristics or attributes, that characterize a proxy-based communication session or channel and that do not characterize a direct non-proxy-based communication session or channel; or conversely, the system searches for particular characteristics or attributes, that characterize a direct non-proxy-based communication session or channel and that do not characterize a proxy-based communication session or channel; and based on these characteristics, determines whether or not a proxy server exists and operates.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: BIOCATCH LTD.Inventors: Avi Turgeman, Yaron Lehmann, Yaron Azizi, Itai Novick

Publication number: 20210110014Abstract: Methods and systems that correlate between (i) the manner in which the end-user holds and utilizes a mobile electronic device, particularly in landscape mode versus portrait mode, and (ii) the age or age-range of the user. The system detects a fraudulent transaction when the user utilizes a banking application portrait mode, while the declared age of the user indicates that he is old. Furthermore, the minimum distance between (i) the on-screen point-of-interaction of the user on the touch-screen, and (ii) a particular edge of the touch-screen, is further utilized to determine the user's age or age range.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Avi Turgeman, Alexander Basil Zaloum, Tomer Orgad, Itai Novick

Patent number: 10949514Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of detecting user identity, differentiating between users of a computerized service, detecting a possible attacker, and flagging a particular financial transaction or a particular retail transaction as being possibly-fraudulent. The methods include monitoring of user-side input-unit interactions, in general and in response to an interference introduced to user-interface elements. The monitored interactions are analyzed, and enable extraction of hardware-specific features of a computer mouse, a touchpad, a touch-screen, a keyboard, or other input unit. In some methods, detection of different mouse polling rates or different mouse DPI values, across two different usage sessions in the same financial account, enables the method to detect a possibly-fraudulent transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: BIOCATCH LTD.Inventors: Avi Turgeman, Itai Novick
