Customer notification program alerting customer-specified network address of unauthorized access attempts to customer account

A system for authorizing a request for remote access to customer account information, comprising:

• a server configured to receive the request via a network from a remote computing device;
• a database storing the customer account information accessible by the server;
• and
• memory accessible by the server and storing a customer notification program which, when executed by the server, performs steps for
• (a) identifying, responsive to the server receiving the request, the remote computing device by a device fingerprint and by a requesting location;
• (b) determining whether the device fingerprint matches any of a number of device fingerprints authorized to access the customer account information;
• and
• (c) sending, responsive to determining a mismatch between the device fingerprint and each of the previously authorized device fingerprints, a notification of the request to a customer-specified address, the notification indicating (i) the request, (ii) identity of the remote computing device, and (iii) the requesting location;
• wherein the determining step further comprises:
• determining based on the device fingerprint whether the remote computing device is a non-mobile computing device;
• determining whether the requesting location is an abnormal location;
• and
• if the remote computing device is a non-mobile computing device and if the requesting location is an abnormal location, bypassing the sending step and disapproving the request.

• wherein the determining step further comprises:
• determining based on the device fingerprint whether the remote computing device is a mobile device;
• determining whether the requesting location is a preauthorized temporary location specified in the customer account information;
• determining whether timing of the request falls within the time limits specified for the temporary location;
• and
• if the remote computing device is a mobile device, if the requesting location matches the preauthorized temporary location, and if the timing of the request falls within the specified time limits, bypassing the sending step and approving the request.
