Abstract

Detecting unauthorized access to a device is detected in embodiments of the disclosed technology. After downloading a webpage, code is executed in a browser to scan network ports and determine which ports are open. Further webpage content sent from a web server is determined and/or modified in embodiments of the disclosed technology based on which ports are open. In some embodiments, when a particular port or ports are already in use it is determined that a malfeasant actor has access to the end user device and as such, sensitive data or secure data which is intended for a specific user is no longer sent to the end user device.
