Abstract
Behavioral blocking of overlay-type identity stealers is achieved by detecting a transactional web page session, evaluating a property of a window corresponding to a process running on the computer system, and then, based on a result of the evaluation, blocking a behavior of the process for a duration of the transactional web page session. The evaluation of the property window involves determining whether the window exhibits one or more characteristics representing activity of an overlay-type identity stealer.
