The system compares a value based on the number of digits to a threshold, and indicates that the domain name is potentially generated by malware in response to the value having a specified relationship with respect to the threshold.

Abstract: A merchant advice code system and computer-implemented method for populating a merchant advice code in a payment authorization response message includes a memory device for storing data and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processor is programmed to receive a payment authorization request message including a primary account number relating to the payment account of a cardholder. The processor is programmed to extract a copy of the primary account number from the payment authorization request message and determine whether the primary account number exists in an automated billing service database. In response to determining that the primary account number exists in the automated billing service database, the processor is programmed to store an indicator in the memory device and populate the merchant advice code in the payment authorization response message with the indicator, thereby generating an edited payment authorization response message.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for verifying a payment transaction over a payment network. One step of the method includes receiving, from a sender, a transaction message, with the transaction message including a plurality of data element fields, and with at least one of the data element fields being a network-specific field configured to be populated by an interchange network of the payment network. An additional step includes performing a validation routine on the transaction message. The validation routine includes analyzing the network-specific field of the transaction message to determine if the network-specific field is populated with data. A further step includes transmitting a financial transaction denial to the sender if the network-specific field of the transaction message is populated with data.

Abstract: A transaction blocking system for updating a database for a card-not-present account-on-file transaction blocking service includes a memory device for storing data and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processor is programmed to receive from an issuer a chargeback message including issuer identification information, a chargeback reason code, and a primary account number relating to a payment account of a cardholder. The processor is also programmed to read the chargeback reason code, and determine whether the chargeback message corresponds to a cancelled recurring payment. Furthermore, the processor is programmed to generate an entry within the database in response to determining that the chargeback message corresponds to a cancelled recurring payment. A computer-implemented method for the blocking service is also disclosed.

The method further includes storing the device data within the at least one memory device, and receiving an indication that the first payment transaction initiated from the user computing device was fraudulent. The method further includes assigning a risk factor to the user computing device, and transmitting the risk factor to a merchant, wherein the merchant uses the risk factor to determine whether to process a resale transaction initiated from the user computing device wherein the resale transaction is associated with a resale of goods acquired in association with the first payment transaction.

Abstract: A chargeback analytics computing device for generating chargeback analytics associated with service chargebacks is provided. The chargeback analytics computing device is configured to retrieve transaction data for a merchant, the transaction data associated with transactions initiated at the merchant, and extract chargeback data from the transaction data, the chargeback data associated with chargeback transactions. The chargeback analytics computing device also parses the chargeback data to identify a chargeback reason code associated with each chargeback transaction. Based upon the chargeback reason codes, the chargeback analytics computing device isolates a fraud-related portion and a non-fraud-related portion of the chargeback data, and extracts a service subset of the non-fraud-related portion associated with service chargeback transactions, wherein a service chargeback transaction is initiated by a cardholder having an unsatisfactory experience with the merchant.

Abstract: A computing network system including a historical authorization database, a lost and stolen card (LSC) database, an account data breach (ADB) database, and a compromised identification (CI) computing device is provided. The CI computing device retrieves a set of historical account identifiers associated with historical transactions of a candidate merchant from the historical authorization database. The CI computing device compares the historical account identifier to lost and/or stolen (LS) account data stored by the LSC database and breach data stored by the ADB database. The CI computing device generates a compromised account message when a historical account identifier has a matching account identifier within the LS account data and/or the breach data. The compromised account message includes the matching account identifier and an associated reason code indicating a cause of compromise. The CI computing device transmits the compromised account message to the candidate merchant for review and analysis.

Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed herein may include a sensor including a luminophor exposed to a fluid flow path. The luminophor may emit light in response to illumination by an excitation light source. The magnitude of light emitted by the luminophor in response to illumination may be determined. It can be determined if this magnitude is within a threshold of the baseline magnitude and an alarm state set based on this determination. This alarm state may indicate that the luminophor has reached an end-of-life state or otherwise should be replaced.
