Online brokerages in the United States are under attack from a fast-growing new form of online fraud. Hackers have been breaking into customer accounts at online brokerages and are making unauthorized trades worth millions of dollars. Unlike banks, brokerage accounts are not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. finding themselves having to cover customer losses out of their own pockets.

Using Dynamic Dimensional Profiles (DDP) we can detect suspicious transactions and prevent fraudulent actions in real time. We are looking at dimensions such as quality of correlation between the current sequences of transactions to regular behavior, we compare customer current trade request to his known profile, verify Click Streams (the customers "finger print") by comparing the current keystroke streams to customer's previous click streams and more. Dimensions not related to the customer are also being looked at - such as Stock, IP address and Period of trade. Repetition, a unique feature of SeqUR, will identify when a set of transactions is repeated by different customers. If the system finds an abnormal repetition it compares the online brokerage overall behavior to the general stock exchange market behavior.

Once we detect a problem that might indicate a fraudulent act is being committed, we issue an alert. The alert will include all the historical transactions with their relevant information.
