  • Publication number: 20250088494
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user may include transmitting a request for a first set of information after validation of authentication information; receiving a response comprising the first set of information; parsing the first set of information using one or more template-based algorithms by scanning one or more websites to determine publicly available information associated with a user; comparing compare one or more results of the parsing with a second set of information to yield compromised information associated with the user; eliminating one or more portions of the second set of information based on the comparison; presenting a third set of information to authenticate the user based on the elimination and by supplementing the first set of information with a fourth set of information; and presenting a fifth set of information to authenticate the user if the third set of information fails to reach a predetermined threshold number.

  • Publication number: 20250086698
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for associating past auction bidding activity with subsequent financial transactions. A computing device may receive, from a web browser plugin of a web browser application executing on a user computing device, bid information relating to bids placed by a user on an auction website. Such information may be collected by, for example, scraping the Document Object Model of the website. After the auction ends, the computing device may determine a plurality of different candidate financial transactions for the user. Based on an estimated payment amount, the computing device may select, from the plurality of different candidate financial transactions, a matching financial transaction, then output an association between a bid and the matching financial transaction.

  • Patent number: 12248750
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments accelerate web form completion based on email address analytics. An email address can be input with respect to a web form and identified. The email address can be parsed into a username and a domain name and analyzed. A value of a web form field can be determined based on data extracted from the username, domain name, or both. The determined value can then be employed to automatically complete a corresponding web form field Values for additional fields can be computed based on the determined value alone or combined with data from other sources. User input and interaction with a web form can be monitored and used as a basis to dynamically complete additional fields, alter fields, or clear field values.

  • Publication number: 20250069081
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, image-feature malicious-activity detection and access prevention may be facilitated, where an activity notification associated with a transaction triggers feature detection for at least one image related to a different transaction. In some embodiments, a first image (received in connection with a first transaction) may be associated with the first transaction, and a second image (received in connection with a second transaction) may be associated with a second transaction. In response to a malicious activity notification associated with the first transaction, an identifying characteristic (e.g., a facial feature) detected in the first image may be used to determine whether to prevent access to an account related to the second transaction. As an example, in response to determining that the identifying characteristic is present in the second image, access to the account related to the second transaction may be prevented.
