Abstract
A fraud detection and protection method and system are disclosed. The method and system utilize a fraud detection and protection server to monitor online commercial transactions between a webserver and a client computer, and generate a risk assessment of a user associated with the client computer. The system and method further utilize a number of beacon servers geographically dispersed in an area. Each beacon server is configured to receive packet header information associated with the online commercial transactions, analyze the packet header information for authenticating information, and send the authenticating information to the fraud detection and protection server for the risk assessment.
