Abstract
Internet Domain Name Fraud Risk Assessment using a system of data element collection and computation. Data elements associated with the Internet Domain Name are acquired from internal and external data sources, captured, evaluated, and then assigned a value. Data acquisition may include use of domain information, databases, corporate and social media services, and search engine services. Using the assigned values, an Internet Domain Name category type and a Fraud Risk Score are computed and then displayed to a user along with additional information, explanations and recommendations.
Claims9
A method of assessing Internet Domain Name data fraud risk, the method utilizing at least one processor or at least one firmware application configured to:
- (a) enable a user to input at least one Internet Domain Name, wherein at least one data element is selected;
- (b) query at least one data source in at least one proprietary or non-proprietary database to determine whether any information has been previously collected regarding the internet domain name;
- (c) if the at least one proprietary or non-proprietary database certifies the validity of the Internet Domain Name, a positive value is assigned to the Internet Domain Name;
- and if the at least one proprietary or non-proprietary database certifies the invalidity of the Internet Domain Name, a negative value is assigned to the Internet Domain Name;
- (d) if the at least one proprietary or non-proprietary database cannot certify the validity or invalidity of the Internet Domain Name, another query is made to at least one other data source to collect data elements about the Internet Domain Name;
- (e) assign a value to each data element collected;
- (f) implement a scoring logic to compute a fraud risk score of each domain name based on the values associated with each data element collected;
- and
- (g) provide a description, category, or explanation for the fraud risk score.
