Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for the validation of a true browsing user on a website is disclosed. The invention allows for the collection of data regarding the evolving threat landscape created by online attackers. The system and method fingerprint user behavior to detect differences between a local user, a remote/foreign user, and an automated script. The system then covertly transmits that information back to a financial institution client without giving online attackers the opportunity to notice such transmittal. Certain embodiments of the invention also correspond with the browsing user to validate their identity. The claimed system and method proactively reveal attackers and attack ploys, additionally enabling institutions and security consultants to adapt to attacks in an automated fashion.
