Abstract
False honeytoken data is generated, stored, and disseminated to a criminal organization such as an online banking fraud ring. After dissemination of the data, access attempts using the false honeytoken data are identified at an online banking web server or other organization resource. Data associated with the fraudulent access attempt, such as a source IP address, physical address, or related customer account numbers, are retrieved and stored so that this data may be compiled, analyzed, and used for tracking fraud rings.
