Software tampering detection and reporting process

A method for preventing unauthorized access of data on a mobile device on a cellular phone network, the method comprising:

• determining, by a processor, that the mobile device has been accessed by an unauthorized user;
• determining, by the processor, a type of a security software application on the mobile device that has been accessed;
• sending a communication over-the-air through a first communication channel including a long range communication channel;
• generating security notification data in response to the determining that the mobile device has been accessed by the unauthorized user, wherein the security notification data comprises the type of the security software application that determined an unauthorized access;
• and
• providing one of the security notification data or a derivative of the security notification data in a form of a cryptogram to an access device by a short range antenna in the mobile device via a second communication channel, the access device forwarding the cryptogram to a remote server computer, where the remote server computer determines that the unauthorized user has accessed the mobile device by determining that the forwarded cryptogram does not match an expected cryptogram, and prevents an unauthorized access of data on the mobile device on the cellular phone network.

A server comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor performs a method for preventing unauthorized access of data on a mobile device on a cellular phone network comprising:
• determining that a mobile device has been accessed by an unauthorized user;
• determining a type of a security software application on the mobile device that has been accessed;
• sending a communication over-the-air through a first communication channel including a long range communication channel;
• generating security notification data in response to the determining that the mobile device has been accessed by the unauthorized user, wherein the security notification data comprises the type of the security software application that determined an unauthorized access;
• and
• providing one of the security notification data or a derivative of the security notification data in a form of a cryptogram to an access device by a short range antenna in the mobile device via a second communication channel, the access device forwarding the cryptogram to a remote server computer, where the remote server computer determines that the unauthorized user has accessed the mobile device by determining that the forwarded cryptogram does not match an expected cryptogram, and prevents an unauthorized access of data on the mobile device on the cellular phone network.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions to perform a method for preventing unauthorized access of data on a mobile device on a cellular phone network comprising:

• determining that a mobile device has been accessed by an unauthorized user;
• determining a type of a security software application on the mobile device that has been accessed;
• sending a communication over-the-air through a first communication channel including a long range communication channel;
• generating security notification data in response to the determining that the mobile device has been accessed by the unauthorized user, wherein the security notification data comprises the type of the security software application that determined an unauthorized access;
• and
• providing one of the security notification data or a derivative of the security notification data in a form of a cryptogram to an access device by a short range antenna in the mobile device via a second communication channel, the access device forwarding the cryptogram to a remote server computer, where the remote server computer determines that the unauthorized user has accessed the mobile device by determining that the forwarded cryptogram does not match an expected cryptogram, and prevents an unauthorized access of data on the mobile device on the cellular phone network.
