Publication number: 20250103711Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements for cybersecurity of telecommunication devices. For example, cybersecurity for telecommunication devices may be improved by analyzing activity log data of telecommunication devices for a candidate event (e.g., the uploading of malware) and disabling one or more services of a telecommunication device. By doing so, cybersecurity for telecommunication devices may be improved by detecting a possible malware intrusion attempt and disabling one or more services of the telecommunication devices. For example, activity log data of telecommunication devices may be obtained. A candidate event indicating malware may be detected in the activity log data. A number of proximate telecommunication devices satisfying a proximity threshold condition may be determined. The number of proximate telecommunication devices that satisfy a density threshold condition may be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jeff PHARR, Son MAYS, Michael LITTLEJOHN

Publication number: 20240062150Abstract: A device may receive a request for a product from a first user device and may generate first verification information based on the request. The device may provide the first verification information to a second user device and may provide first information associated with the product to the second user device, where the first information includes location information corresponding to a pick-up location and a drop-off location. The device may provide second information associated with the product to a product delivery device to permit the product delivery device to authenticate the second user device. The device may receive a verification request from the first user device based on an interaction and may generate second verification information. The device may provide the second verification information to the first user device to permit the second user device to verify the first user device for delivery of the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Jeremy PHILLIPS, Jeff PHARR

Patent number: 11514769Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for detecting an intrusion of a product (e.g., an ATM) via an electronic tattletale. The disclosed embodiments may provide an ATM comprising a housing comprising an interior surface and a substance adhered to the interior surface, the substance comprising a piezoelectric element. The ATM may further comprise a detection circuit coupled to the substance, which may be configured to receive a first response signal generated by the substance and generate an indication of an intrusion into the housing, based on a comparison of the received first response signal to a predefined second response signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: David K. Wurmfeld, Jeff Pharr, Kevin Osborn
