Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for assessing an account takeover risk for one or more accounts of an individual. The account security procedures for each of a number of services with which the user has an account may be analyzed. Publicly accessible information regarding the user may also be collected and analyzed. The collected information and security procedures may be compared in order to determine one or more vulnerabilities to hostile account takeover of one or more of the analyzed accounts. An alert may be generated regarding a determined takeover risk, which may include suggested actions for remedying the risk.
