Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for malicious request attribution are presented. For example, according to one aspect, requests for one or more records may be received from a requesting computing device. A determination may be made that the requests are of a malicious nature. Responsive to determining that the requests are of a malicious nature, one or more requests for obtaining information about the requesting computing device may be generated, and communicated to the requesting computing device. In some embodiments, at least one of the one or more requests for obtaining information about the requesting computing device may be configured to cause the requesting computing device to fail to properly render at least a portion of a web page comprising at least one of the one or more records.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system and from a computing device, a request for an account balance stored in a memory of the computing system;
- and
- responsive to a determination, by the computing system, that the request is of a malicious nature, communicating, by the computing system and to the computing device, data configured to cause the computing device to indicate a false balance different from the account balance.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to:
- receive, from a computing device, a request for an account balance stored in a memory of the one or more computers;
- and
- responsive to a determination, by the one or more computers, that the request is of a malicious nature, communicate, to the computing device, data configured to cause the computing device to indicate a false balance different from the account balance.
A system comprising a plurality of distinct computing devices, wherein:
- a first computing device of the plurality of distinct computing devices comprises a memory storing an account balance;
- and
- a second computing device of the plurality of distinct computing devices is configured to, responsive to a determination that a received request for the account balance is of a malicious nature, direct the received request to a third computing device of the plurality of distinct computing devices.
