Abstract:
Systems and techniques for providing security data points from an electronic message are presented. A system can determine a first internet protocol (IP) address of a computing device in response to a user of the computing device opening an email sent to an email address corresponding to a particular electronic account of the user, the email comprising an IP address tracking mechanism. The system can also compare the first IP address with one or more second IP addresses corresponding to one or more electronic accesses of the particular electronic account. Furthermore, the system can determine if an account access anomaly exists in regard to the particular electronic account based on a result of the comparing. The system can also implement a security measure impacting an ability of the particular electronic account to conduct one or more transactions in response to the account access anomaly existing for the particular electronic account.
