  • Publication number: 20250028857
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for identifying potential identity fraud by tracking a user's typical communication patterns. If a new communication is received from someone who purports to be a trusted user, but the communication exhibits communication traits that are not typical for the user, additional identity fraud prevention steps may be taken.

  • Patent number: 12177235
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described whereby a server can forward a request from a device behind a NAT router to a system to determine if the request is suspicious. A server can receive a message via a network device, such as a NAT router, disposed at a location. The message can originate from one of a plurality of computing devices located downstream of the network device. The server can determine that the message originated from a compromised device and transmit a signal to facilitate execution of a first process on the computing devices located downstream from the compromised device, wherein, upon execution, the first process is configured to compare information located in a local storage of the computing device with a predetermined list of domains.

  • Publication number: 20210227394
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for identifying unauthorized (e.g., rogue) access points. Authorized access points can detect the presence of rogue access points by determining signal strengths associated with other access points. A detected variance from an expected signal strength can indicate a presence of a rogue access point.
