Abstract: A computer system determines that authentication information has been requested from a user device by a requesting device. In response to determining that authentication information has been requested by the requesting device, the computer system identifies information corresponding to the requesting device and determines if one or more risk indications correspond to the identified information corresponding to the requesting device. In response to determining that one or more risk indications correspond to the identified information corresponding to the requesting device, the computer system implements one or more security measures.

Abstract: A method for phishing detection using uniform resource locators is discussed. The method includes accessing data from one or more of a monitored portion of website data and a monitored portion of emails, the data indicating a suspect Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The method includes assigning a rule score based on partial rule scores of each portion of the suspect URL, the rule score indicating a phishing potential based on URL rules. The method includes determining a uniqueness score of the suspect URL, the uniqueness score indicating a degree of uniqueness of the suspect URL from a plurality of known phishing URLs. The method also includes determining a URL phishing score based, at least in part, on the rules scores and the uniqueness score for the suspect URL.

Abstract: A method for phishing detection using certificates associated with uniform resource locators (URLs) is discussed. The method includes accessing certificate portions of a certificate associated with a suspect URL, the certificate accessed at a database that includes certificates obtained by monitoring certificate logs. The method includes accessing a URL score for the suspect URL. The method includes assigning a certificate rule score based on partial certificate scores of certificate portions, the certificate rule score indicating a phishing potential for the certificate, each of the partial certificate scores indicating a likelihood of phishing of each portion based on certificate rules. The method includes using a machine learning model based on the URL score and the certificate to determine a uniqueness certificate score. The method also includes determining a phishing certificate score based on the certificate rule score and the uniqueness certificate score for the certificate.

Abstract: A method for phishing detection based on modeling of web page content is discussed. The method includes accessing suspect web page content of a suspect Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The method includes generating an exemplary model based on an exemplary configuration for an indicated domain associated with the suspect URL, where the exemplary model indicates structure and characteristics of an example web page of the indicated domain. The method includes generating a suspect web page model that indicates structure and characteristics of the suspect web page content. The method includes performing scoring functions for the potential phishing web page content based on the suspect web page model, where some of the scoring functions use the exemplary model to perform analysis to generate respective results. The method includes generating a web page content phishing score based on results from the scoring functions.

Abstract: A method for using a malware and phishing detection and mediation platform is discussed. The method includes accessing data from one or more of a monitored portion of website data and a monitored portion of emails, the data indicating a respective potential malware or a suspect phishing element (e.g., Uniform Resource Locator (URL)). The method includes selecting one of a plurality of detection engines for processing the data, where the selecting is based on previous results of previous processing by one or more detection engines. Each of the plurality of detection engines can be for performing one or more respective investigation actions on the plurality of data to determine a particular issue with one of the monitored data. The method also includes determining a mediation action based on a result of processing of the detection engine and the previous processing.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting webpages that share malicious content are presented. A first set of webpages that hosts a web account checker is identified. A baseline page structure score and a baseline language score are calculated based on the identified first set of webpages. Content from a second set of webpages is collected and analyzed based on the calculated baseline page structure and the calculated baseline language scores. One or more of the second set of webpages is flagged as malicious based on the analyzing of the content collected from the second set of webpages.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing and evaluating vulnerabilities of a networked system are presented. A list of known vulnerabilities that have been disclosed in the public may be obtained. The networked system may be scanned from an external perspective to obtain network information of the networked system. A subset of the known vulnerabilities may be determined to be relevant to the networked system based on correlations between the vulnerabilities and the network information. The networked system may also be analyzed from an internal perspective to determine impacts of the relevant known vulnerabilities to the networked system. The impact of a vulnerability may be determined based on the type of data and/or the type of services that may be accessible in an attack that exploits the vulnerability. The vulnerabilities may then be ranked and addressed based on the impacts.

Abstract: Systems and methods of authenticating voice data using a ledger (blockchain). Examples include a scalable and seamless system that uses blockchain technologies to distribute trust of a conversation, authenticate persons in a conversation, track their characteristics and also to keep records of conversations. In some examples, smart phones, wearables, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices can be used to record and track conversations between individuals. These devices can each be used to create entries for the blockchain or a single device could be used to keep track of the entirety of the conversation. Fuzzy hashing may be used to compare newly created entries with previous entries on the ledger.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting webpages that share malicious content are presented. A first set of webpages that hosts a web account checker is identified. A baseline page structure score and a baseline language score are calculated based on the identified first set of webpages. Content from a second set of webpages is collected and analyzed based on the calculated baseline page structure and the calculated baseline language scores. One or more of the second set of webpages is flagged as malicious based on the analyzing of the content collected from the second set of webpages.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for dynamically adjusting a risk classification of a risk source based on classifications of one or more other risk sources. The risk engine may first classify a first risk source as a first risk type based on an initial analysis of the first risk source. Subsequent to classifying the first risk source as the first risk type, the risk engine may determine that a second risk source is associated with a second risk type. Based on the determination that the second risk source is associated with the second risk type, the risk engine may re-classify the first risk source as the second risk type. The risk engine may then use the reclassification of the first risk source to improve network security of an online service provider.
