A fraudulent business transaction application (FBTA) is provided in
embodiments of the present invention for monitoring fraudulent
transactions. When a consumer supplies account access information in
order to carry out an Internet business transaction, the FBTA uses an
online fraud mitigation engine to detect phishing intrusions and identity
theft. Embodiments are also provided for calculating travel velocity and
transaction frequency, which are useful for determining a fraudulent
transaction. Further embodiments are provided for authenticating a
transaction using a cookie stored on a client device and a behavior
profile stored on a server.
