Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting an electronic intrusion are described. The system receives a notification, over a network, from a first application server that is hosting a first electronic service that is hosting a first user account. The notification reports the detection of a user activity associated with the first user account. The first user account is monitored for user activity. Next, the system may identify the notification reporting the detection of the user activity associated with the first user account as a possible electronic intrusion into the first account.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- registering a first device associated with a user account to receive:
- notifications regarding possible electronic intrusions;
- and
- a communication of a first request for instructions based on an unwanted sign-on attempt occurring;
- receiving a notification from a server, the notification including an indication of a possible unwanted sign-on attempt to the user account from a second device;
- determining a location corresponding to the possible unwanted sign-on attempt;
- communicating over a network, based on the location, the first request to the first device associated with the user account for instructions to respond to the notification, the second device being distinct from the first device;
- determining if a response has been received over the network responsive to the communicating of the first request;
- determining if a time period has elapsed if a response has not been received;
- communicating command information to the server based on the response, the command information relating to blocking access to the user account based on the time period elapsing;
- and
- signing-off the user account without warning based on the time period elapsing.

A system comprising:
- at least one hardware processor and executable instructions accessible on a computer-readable medium that, when executed, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- registering a first device associated with a user account to receive:
- notifications regarding possible electronic intrusions;
- and
- a communication of a first request for instructions based on an unwanted sign-on attempt occurring;
- receiving a notification from a server, the notification including an indication of a possible unwanted sign-on attempt to the user account from a second device;
- determining a location corresponding to the possible unwanted sign-on attempt;
- communicating over a network, based on the location, a first request to the first device associated with the user account for instructions to respond to the notification, the second device being distinct from the first device;
- determining if a response has been received over the network responsive to the communicating of the first request;
- determining if a time period has elapsed if a response has not been received;
- communicating command information to the server based on the response, the command information relating to blocking access to the user account based on the time period elapsing;
- and
- signing-off the user account without warning based on the time period elapsing.
10 more elements
A machine-readable medium, having no transitory signals, that stores instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- registering a first device associated with a user account to receive:
- notifications regarding possible electronic intrusions;
- and
- a communication of a first request for instructions based on an unwanted sign-on attempt occurring;
- receiving a notification from a server, the notification including an indication of a possible unwanted sign-on attempt to the user account from a second device;
- determining a location corresponding to the possible unwanted sign-on attempt;
- communicating over a network, based on the location, a first request to the first device associated with the user account for instructions to respond to the notification, the second device being distinct from the first device;
- determining if a response has been received over the network responsive to the communicating of the first request;
- determining if a time period has elapsed if a response has not been received;
- communicating command information to the server based on the response, the command information relating to blocking access to the user account based on the time period elapsing;
- and
- signing-off the user account without warning based on the time period elapsing.
