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.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a notification from a server, the notification including an indication of a sign-on attempt to a user account from a first device;
- determining a location corresponding to the user account;
- communicating over a network, based on the location, a request to a second device associated with the user account for instructions to respond to the notification, the second device being distinct from the first device;
- receiving a response, over the network, responsive to the communicating of the request;
- and
- communicating command information to the server based on the response.
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:
- receiving a notification from a server, the notification including an indication of a sign-on attempt to a user account from a first device;
- determining a location corresponding to the user account;
- communicating over a network, based on the location, a request to a second device associated with the user account for instructions to respond to the notification, the second device being distinct from the first device;
- receiving a response, over the network, responsive to the communicating of the request;
- and
- communicating command information to the server based on the response.
A machine-readable medium, having no transitory signals, that stores instructions and, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a notification from a server, the notification including an indication of a sign-on attempt to a user account from a first device;
- determining a location corresponding to the user account;
- communicating over a network, based on the location, a request to a second device associated with the user account for instructions to respond to the notification, the second device being distinct from the first device;
- receiving a response, over the network, responsive to the communicating of the request;
- and
- communicating command information to the server based on the response.
