Abstract
A method includes detecting, by a marketplace server of a computing network, fraudulent acquisition of an exchange item by a first computing device of the computing network. The exchange item has a first dynamic identifier (ID) that was created for the first computing device, where the first computing device is a first owner of the exchange item, exchange item information is associated with the exchange item, and the exchange item information includes a static ID of the exchange item. The method further includes deactivating, by the marketplace server, the first dynamic ID in response to the detecting fraudulent acquisition. The method further includes, after deactivating the first dynamic ID, detecting, by the marketplace server, requested use of the exchange item by the first computing device, denying, by the marketplace server, the requested use of the exchange item, and reclaiming, by the marketplace server, ownership of the exchange item.
