  • Patent number: 11882452
    Abstract: A system includes a database, a sensor, and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the sensor. The database stores an identifier assigned to a mobile device. The presence of the identifier in the database indicates that a user of the mobile device is associated with a security breach. The mobile device is configured to transmit the identifier over a wireless network. The sensor has a range and is configured to obtain the identifier transmitted by the mobile device when the mobile device is located within the range. The hardware processor receives the identifier from the sensor. The processor also determines that the identifier is stored in the database. In response to determining that the identifier is stored in the database, the processor initiates a security protocol.

  • Publication number: 20220398588
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a system comprises a memory and a processor operably coupled to the memory. The memory is operable to store historical data associated with previous data processing transactions, the historical data comprising a set of attributes, including an entity name attribute. The processor is configured to obtain the historical data and classify each previous data processing transaction as a member of a group of unauthorized previous data processing transactions or as a member of a group of authorized previous data processing transactions. The processor is further configured to determine a first pattern associated with the entity name attributes used by the members of the group of unauthorized previous data processing transactions, and to facilitate identifying a new data processing transaction as unauthorized based at least in part on an entity name attribute associated with the new data processing transaction using the first pattern.

  • Patent number: 11361630
    Abstract: A system includes a database, a sensor, and a processor. The sensor obtains a mobile device identifier transmitted by a mobile device located within a range of the sensor. The processor receives the identifier from the sensor and stores the identifier and a first time when the mobile device was located within the range in a log. The processor receives an indication that an event associated with a security breach took place within the sensor range at a particular time that is within a tolerance of the first time. In response, the processor determines, based at least in part on the particular time and the presence of the identifier and first time in the log, that a user of the mobile device is associated with the event. In response, the processor stores the identifier in the database to indicate that the mobile device is associated with a security threat.

  • Publication number: 20220124090
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores biometric data obtained from an account holder at a first location and identification information provided by the account holder that was used to open an existing account at the first location. The processor receives, from a device, data corresponding to an applicant that includes biometric data obtained from the applicant at a second location and identification information provided by the applicant at the second location. The applicant is requesting to open a new account using the identification information at the second location. In response to receiving the applicant's data, the processor determines that the applicant's biometric data matches the account holder's biometric data. The processor also determines that the applicant's identification information does not match the account holder's identification information. In response, the processor transmits an alert to the device indicating that the applicant's identity could not be verified.
