Abstract
An improved technique involves inputting data in postings from social media or news websites into a risk engine. A posting extraction device continually observes postings aggregated in social media and news websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, CNN, and the like. The posting extraction device parses postings that contain specified keywords such as “credit card,” “account number,” and the like. The posting extraction device also parses these postings for metadata such as user identifiers, times, and locations. The posting extraction device then stores the parsed information in a transaction database that is accessed by an adaptive authentication engine for risk score assignment.
